The work RISSE is an exploration of the reaction of paint on the solid material varnish. The selected serie shows various fractures on paper, wood, line, foam, carton and synthetic foil. The paint splits open due to the interfacial tension of the varnish which produces an artificial aging of the paint. The artist applies the varnish uneven onto the first layer of paint. This factor and the drying time of the varnish influence the formation of the image. At long drying time the uppest layer of paint splits into subtle and complex fractures. At short drying time bigger and rough gaps crack open.
The work RISSE builds a contrast to the previous work Grenzenlosigkeit: solid, dry and crackling material instead fluid, evaporating, hydrous traces of water. Grenzenlosigkeit reminds on micro- and macrocosmic forms and RISSE on smaller and bigger tectonic movements of the earth crust.
