Red and White III, Expanded Metal Painting

2017

His The panel paintings "Expanded Metal Paintings" are the closest to the classic art of painting. Firstly paint is applied by a brush on a primed canvas. Then wire mesh is dunked into black and white paint and is used to create abstract patterns on top of the red and light grey areas. Similar to traditional blueprints with textiles, the wire mesh is moved across the canvas like a mold. Fingerprints remain as well as the redundant paint. The finished work bears a haptic sensation, the form resembles calligraphy: the surface's sensuality takes center stage. The organic surfaces of Wolf's work, with their vibrant colors and glossy finish, evoke a sense of decomposition and decay while retaining a polished elegance. The lightweight, airborne nature of parachutes introduces themes of gravity and suspension, merging fragility with permanence. Clemens Wolf...
