AFLOAT

Janka Stemmle
•
I create my own acrylic paints in my studio simply using pigments, casein glue and a bit of water. At first I produce yellow, red and blue, the three primary colors as well as black and white to create the base from where I can mix all sorts of colors to explore the different and ever-changing shades of colors.
AFLOAT starts with creating the required liquid consistency of the acrylic paints including experimenting with it. To do so the acrylic paints need to be mixed with plenty of water. Then all colors are poured one by one into one common plastic cup whereat a few drops of silicone oil is added. The cup is poured on a solid surface as canvas, glass, wood or cardboard either with the DIRTY-POUR or the FLIP-CUP technique. Now the very best moment appears when the colors begin to react with each other. Very unique abstract shapes emerge reminding of cell structures or any other organic or astronomical motives. Here I start to intervene in a subtle way by tilting the surface a bit and using either a straw or a hairdryer and heat gun to influence the painting with air and heat changes. The paintings still change from itself until they are completely dried. Afterwards, I build myself custom-made wooden frames for the entire series of paintings.
The video was filmed with a macro lense so all these teeny tiny details get to the light. This upscaling effect intensified at the exhibition thanks to the large video projection.
