A painting hanging on a wooden support that acts as a wall, as protection and as a container for transportation, all of it supported by an easel on wheels. Every day since 2006 the same colour that is spread on a canvas and in the diary is also deposited on the infinite painting. Each subsequent layer cancels out the previous colour. The colour is a substance with a certain consistency. Numerous micro layers of paint spread on a two-dimensional surface create a three-dimensional object. The painting thickens and broadens over time. At a certain point will the weight of the substance no longer resist and detach itself from the support?
Since 2020 the “Infinite Painting” has been raised onto a platform-trolley about 40-cm high in order to integrate it with all the other parts of the “Gestureplace”.
