__ __ Since 2007 Thierry Furger has been researching the transience and aesthetics of illegal tags and pieces. During his research on the ephemeral phenomenon, the series Buffed Paintings emerged. As an artist and observer of society, Furger explore
__ __ Finally, the multi-layered process of graffiti spraying, cleaning and over-spraying represents a further level of transience. Often the cleaning works, with aggressive solvents, leave stains, discoloration and shadows on the original material
__ __ A third level of transience is represented by the moving image of a graffiti piece. When a train passes by, a dynamic image is created, a "blurred" representation of confused colours and lines. An abstracted image results.⁠ __ #thier
__ __ In this remarkable series, Furger crates a painting out of a usually ephemeral process. By depicting and capturing this transience, he creates an exciting tension both on an aesthetic as well as conceptual level.⁠ __ #thierryfurger #tagging #b
