Niele Toroni: 13. Rubenspreis der Stadt Siegen ISBN: 9783960981879 (HB - E/ G) € commander liste d'envies "Imprints of a No. 50 Paintbrush Repeated at Regular Intervals of 30 cm" is the title Niele Toroni gives to every one of his works. In this way, he laconically describes precisely what he does: place a regular pattern of brush imprints onto various surfaces - canvas, paper, glass, the wall - working with primary colours. Looking very carefully, we can see that no one brush imprint is exactly the same as another. But in other respects, too, we discern that the rule permits an astonishingly large number of possible variations. Toroni engages spontaneously with the exhibition spaces and covers large walls as well as out of the way places, where the viewer's glance is never likely to fall.
