Alex Spremberg, Kairos #16 (detail), 2024, enamel on wood, 120 x 270 x 2cm
Alex Spremberg’s new painting series, Kairos, is based on the premise that each object embodies the time signature of its making. To give this notion form, the artist allows the processes he sets in motion to run their course. In his work, the measured time makes space for the immeasurable quality of time, revealing the painting's own dynamic.
Alex Spremberg’s experiments with registering time require different modes of presentation. Splicing two distinct moments emphasises the incomparable tracings that unfold in time. The Kairos series invites us to ponder the quantitative and qualitative aspects that choreograph our daily life.
