Trompe oil


Oil on Van's

I worked on a series of trompe-l’oeil paintings of what appears to be actual masking tape, in the process of beginning “an abstract painting” of blue squares. Through repetition these paintings reveal their own process of construction, without easily giving up the actual location of where in the process they are. Here, “the square’s edge is built discontinuous, physically and temporally, with parts entering and exiting. The positive square is inexistent.  The idea of a square, from a purely lexical perspective, winds up being basically ambiguous; for instance, the illusory edge of the square is irregular, not the square in itself.”  

Furthermore, because the masking tape is there - as a template for the square - the painting is probably not finished, but then because the “tape” is painted, the whole operation reverses and becomes intentional in its form, just as it is in the present. It is just where it wants to be, in an unfinished state, which expresses a kind of indeterminacy.
