Screen print by Jos Verwiel, edition 22 of 150 from 2003, called Trapezi I.
His designs are simple, but the processing is complex. Collage techniques lead to a layered structure in which, like an archaeologist, he buries his shapes and reabsorbs them in the paint of the canvas, as if they were traces of our contemporary culture.
The contrast between the monumental composition with mathematical surfaces and the erratic amorphous detailing in glaze-like bright colors makes this work unique. In these contemporary icons, Verwiel juggles with the limitations of the flat surface. Sometimes he shows the suggestion of space, through physical figures in a peculiar perspective, compressed or stretched out on his large canvases.
