About the Artwork
Rudolf Stingel’s signature works include installations that encircle an exhibit space and paintings contained on a flat surface. Filling walls and floors with wallpaper and carpet, he takes the motifs of his paintings from such materials. Exploring the nature of expression, he enables viewers to appreciate scenes different from normal landscapes and move beyond the limits of perception so as to pass the bounds of the second dimension.

AUDIO GUIDE SCRIPT
Rudolf Stingel is an Italian conceptual artist who is particularly interested in the methods and procedures involved in making art. Normally, paint and brushes are used to create paintings, however, this piece was made utilizing a special method. Of what nature? The canvas's background is richly painted, laces are applied, and then, just before the laces are taken off, silver paint is sprayed over the entire painting. Repeated applications of silver paint give the lace patterns more texture and a distinct vibe than a work that has been finished with brushstrokes.
