A series of paintings by Swiss artist Emil Michael Klein.
This book gathers a series of paintings by the Swiss artist Emil Michael Klein, produced between 2014 and 2016. The paintings are realised on a dark primer, which the artist covers with a white tone, leaving out lines. This series underlines the artist's move from his former studio in Renens to the new one in Zurich where he is based since 2015. Klein generally works on a group of several paintings at the same time, and takes them through different states and formes. Former works often set a starting point for new compositions, in which the form and style are adapted or changed, in a repetitive gesture. Paintings 16 gathers a sequence of 24 paintings and allows the reader to easely navigate from one to another.
Published on the occasion of the artists' solo show at Galleria Federico Vavassori, Milano, from April to May 2016.
Limited edition of 300 copies.
Born 1982 in Munich, Emil Michael Klein lives and works in Switzerland.
