One could say that the series of these objects is on the edge of several media in terms of their form. The artist initially thought of these objects as easel paintings. However, in the course of the thought process, their frames and canvases were transformed into shelves or showcases, thematizing modernist grid or aesthetics. The paint got separated from the foundation and formed a congealed mass, reminiscent of an Informel sculpture. The reason for this was the artist’s intention to create an object of artistic analysis out of the painting matter. In order to facilitate such research, it was necessary to develop sophisticated Surrealist and magical Dada methods. These, in combination with the exact ones, such as measurement, optical analysis, electrodiagnostics, vibrational diagnostics, comparison, induction and others, could allow the viewer to penetrate the world of painting in an unexpected, more structured and deeper way.
