Gerhard Richter: Painting 2010 - 2011

The first set of paints, Perizade, is made by pouring liquid paint randomly on glass plates. Here, the material of the paint is present and forms are rolling, in contrast to large digital prints entitled Strip, consisting of a rigorous system of parallel lines. The starting point of the Strip is still a painting by the artist in 1990: Abstract Painting (724-4). Using software, has vertically divided the work, first by 2, then 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, 1024, 2048 and 4096. This process led to the creation of 8190 strips, the height of the paint to start. At each stage of the division, the bands refined. They are repeated in mirror, producing patterns. The more stages of division, the more they are repeated so that the patterns are visible. The Strip exposed here are unique prints selected and combined from different bands.
