Thomas Pihl

Zusatztext

The history of monochrome painting goes back more than a century. Since Kazimir Malevich revolutionized the art world in 1915 with his Black Square, which was based on a single-color surface, this artistic form of expression has taken many different paths without ever losing its ability to fascinate. The distinctive works of Norwegian painter Thomas Pihl join this tradition, continuing and enlarging upon it. If they tell a story at all, it is about the process of how they were made and the physical and mental spaces they are exposed to. To create his pieces, Pihl applies many layers of paint to the canvas, making it possible to visualize the traces of his work process. The resulting visual world which shows us the nature of perception through its play of light and color is now summarized for the first time in this comprehensive publication.
