Chance and Design
The question of chance or design is the question of evolution or God.
Is the shape of a dune, the silhouette of a mountain massif, the form and arrangement of blades of grass, in short: is the exterior of the world around us the product of a chain of coincidences or is it shaped according to the ideas of one or more creators?
In the paintings from this series, both is visibly true: the arrangement of the white dots is purely coincidental due to the spraying of latex, which covers the white of the canvas in places during the painting process. Once the landscape motif has been completed, the drops of latex scattered across the painting are removed and the dots are connected by lines to form the word D E S I G N .
