“…when I paint, I lose track of time and I step outside myself to a certain degree. While making a series of paintings I can’t even remember what happens during the days.“
For an artist who paints without a preconceived plan Harry Markusse is very well organised. On his ‘quests for a pleasing relationship between colour, form and space’ he makes sure that circumstances are such -in time and space- that the right conditions are present. This way he can afford to lose track of time, to step outside himself.
The title of this catalogue ‘Stacked’ refers to his stacked paintings. Collages of preliminary studies and rejected canvases that have minor errors or irregularities are literally stacked on top of each other in Perspex boxes, manipulating their imperfection until they have earned a place in the Stacked series.
