Fabian Oefner's latest art series, Volumen, pushes boundaries by transforming paint strokes into three-dimensional objects encased in clear resin. Known for exploring concepts like gravity and motion, Oefner shifts his focus to the textural qualities of paint through this new medium. Inspired by Abstract Expressionists, he seeks to elevate paint from a flat canvas to a tangible, floating experience. The artist articulates a sensory connection to iconic works, discussing how his approach makes paint’s physical presence palpable and challenges traditional perceptions of painting.
For me, experiencing works like de Kooning's "Door to the River" or Pollock's "Lavender Mist" has always been as much a tactile experience as a visual one. These paintings are almost like sculptures to me. What I am doing is removing the canvas entirely and lifting the paint into space, making its physicality completely tangible.
Oefner's latest series, Volumen, transforms paint strokes into physical objects with dynamic dimensionality, demonstrating a new method of capturing movement and gravity within art.
