ArtistFabian Oefnerexplores the connection between time, space, and reality in his mind-bending works.
Through this, new boundary-breaking pieces emerge.
HisVOLUMENseries reimagines brushstrokes and encourages us to think about them in ways we haven’t before.
VOLUMENis a series featuring 12 works that are a new chapter in Oefners exploration of the boundaries of painting.
The pieces transform a flat, two-dimensional element into a sculptural, three-dimensional viewing experience.
Oefner has fabricated clear resin boxes and placed vibrant, energetic brush strokes within them.
Creating a brushstroke is fleeting; it takes just a split second and then onto the next stroke.
By encasing the strokes in resin, they’re in suspended animationessentially freezing them in time and space.
VOLUMENwas born out of Oefners appreciation of painting.
I have always been fascinated by the textural quality of paintings, he states.
These paintings are almost like sculptures to me.
