The project began with visiting the Jasper Johns exhibition in Philadelphia in 2022.
I was struck by the precision of the contours of numbers and letters, along with the expression of the brushstroke. I saw the artist’s goal as maintaining the level of abstraction while respecting in painting freedom.
I got an idea to apply a deeper level of abstraction using my own artistic language. Abandoning the texture, I focused more on color combinations and strict geometric shapes with recognizable numbers and letters.
Later, I expanded the project by adding artists who used lettering in their practice. These included: Albers, Boetti, Cy Twombly, Indiana, Mel Bochner and Paul Klee.
