from the PRESS RELEASE:
“Nothing in the world is softer or weaker than water
Yet nothing is better at overcoming the hard and the strong”
~Lao Tzu
‘STO LEN has been researching water as a medium, language, tool and collaborator for the past 5 years. His meditative style of printmaking captures a moment in time in nature with a mono print. Layers of oil paint, vegetable oils, spray paint, dirt and various debris is built up on the water surface in large kiddie pools, wooden trays and buckets for hours and sometimes days while preparing a print. Outdoor pools collect raindrops and leaves while patterns are allowed time to develop on their own.
Renouncing the fussiness historically associated with paper marbling, Sto’s work instead celebrates chaos by finding the rhythm and pattern within water’s movement. For This exhibition Sto will showcase new experiments on wood and found objects that begin to take on sculptural forms.’
