Sk Hx

2012

In *Sk Hx*, Angel Otero layers oil paint and peeled oil paint skins onto canvas, creating a richly textured surface that blurs the line between painting and sculpture. The work showcases Otero's signature process of scraping, folding, and collaging dried paint films, resulting in a dynamic interplay of color, depth, and material history. The composition feels simultaneously spontaneous and deliberate, evoking both the physical act of making and the residue of time embedded within the medium itself.
