The market for paintings is characterized by an increase in value and record prices.
But what happens if you reverse this logic and focus on the supposedly worthless paintings?
The sculptor TŘČ collects paintings from the last 200 years and casts them in colored synthetic resin.
The material that TŘČ adds creates its own new space for the works.
On the one hand, they become less clearly recognizable, and on the other, they experience a new way of looking at them as a result of the intervention.
The artist examines the images for qualities and plans his pours to a certain degree, while at the same time, he also relinquishes some artistic control to the material.
His own sculptural practice remains conceptual.
TŘČ (born 1967) is a sculptor and studied at the Academy in Mainz.
He was a master student of Ansgar Nierhoff in 1997.
