'The Colours of My Air Castle'
2018
oil paint on steel bar
83 x 60 cm
It took me several tens, or maybe even hundreds of hours of maddening concentration and endurance to make this piece, which consists of a sheet of pure oil paint hanging on a steel bar. Yesterday evening (sept. 6th 2018) I finally managed to finish the damn thing. Then, when I hung it on the wall for the first time to look at the result, I was deeply moved in a very particular, personal way: I did it, I made a painting without a canvas, a message without a carrier, so to speak. A brittle banner, as transient as all of my personal air castles! As I was taking some quick snapshots of it, all of a sudden the sheet started to rip. And that was the end of it - nearly, because I somehow, in a miraculous way, managed to catch it just in time and to lay it down pretty much as a whole. I hurriedly improvised to restore the rips as good as I could and now, I have to let it dry while laying down. I don't know if the thing will ever be able to be hung up again. Maybe that was really just the end of it. Sooo much effort, for a result that lasted for like 10 minutes... Oh well, it was worth it. After all, air castles are not meant to last forever. Even if they do. (CDV)
(The piece was eventually successfully completed and is now in my own little private collection. cdv)
