Description
Contemporary Art
Bauer/Mlakar (Mmachine)
Dots-2401/06. 2024. Acrylic on paper. 50 x 50 cm. Signed and dated on the reverse. Framed under glass. – Only on the right-hand side are there slight, inherent traces of paint. Overall in very good condition and exceptionally beautiful. A vibrant, magnificent work with an exciting colour gradient.
One of 10 unique copies. – In this composition by Martin Bauer and Maj Mlakar (formerly Mmachine) from the Dots series, the basic element is the single dot, which is applied to paper in a dense grid of acrylic paint; through thousands of individual applications, it creates a colour gradient ranging from rich navy blue to near-white, evoking associations with Ellsworth Kelly as well as the systematic pictorial logic of Concrete Art. The works are created using a converted industrial laser cutter – one of the largest in Europe – which was originally used to cut sails for tall ships such as the ‘Alexander von Humboldt’. The painterly quality emerges where control ends: in the minimal irregularities of the drawing tools, the subtle deviations that break the machine’s perfection and lend each dot its own individual quality.
