Working primarily with squeegees and trowels, I make quickly rendered graphic paintings on paper. I then collage them, cutting and refiguring to create new, unexpected compositions. The works exist in a duality that combines their hard-edged geometry with a fuzzy, weathered quality that reinforces their handmade nature.
About the Artist
Working with abstract forms, Erik Barthels draws from the tradition of minimalism and the discernible imperfection of traditional handicraft.
