primer, house paint, white spirit on canvas
Fredrik Værslev's work exists at the intersection of process and materiality, using industrial and domestic substances—primer, house paint, and white spirit—as both medium and subject. The painting's title functions as a straightforward inventory of its own components, collapsing the distinction between what a work is made of and what it is called. Værslev's practice often engages with the mundane aesthetics of maintenance and labor, and this piece reflects that interest in the overlooked beauty of everyday construction materials.
