“The first blocks appeared in 2018 as a contrast to a set of abstract expressionist works he was creating. There were three blank canvases, waiting to be painted, but instead of small details, scratches and flow, I decided to cut the surface of the canvas into huge, massive parts: blocks. For me, blocks are the visual expression of focus. I chose a basic material: ink, and let it flow – slowly, stroke by stroke, pushed by my receptive movement. Focus, repetition and gravity – three components of the blocks in this exhibition. It was also my first experience with pottery – a thick, flattened and chopped mud. I took a base from my ink drawings, and then played with the depth and the material itself, investigating its physical properties.” – Sasha Sime
