I took pictures in Art basel Hong kong 2018. Fabulous art work. Artist name is Markus Amm. I research him. Markus Amm : painting’s modern alchemist reflects on perfecting pigments When German artist Markus Amm applies oil paint to his canvas, he has an innate sense of what the result will be. Pigments, oil, thinner and binding agents run over gesso boards to create vivid layers of colour that can take days, weeks and even months to apply. The results, Amm says, are always exciting and can be surprising – both good and bad. ‘Pigments can have a different weight, they can combine differently. It’s like a game of ping pong,’ he explains, reflecting on his complex working process. ‘For instance a speck반점 of dust could fly into the paint and I may have to wipe it out. It’s a constant reaction to what's going on. I’m playing my part, and then seeing how the material is reacting. As I can’t completely control the process, the result is always open; it’s like alchemy.’알커미,연금...
