Blacky Blocked Radiant Sunbathed Mylar from Glow Rod Tanning Series

2012

Kerstin Brätsch's *Blacky Blocked Radiant Sunbathed Mylar from Glow Rod Tanning Series* is a three-part work rendered in oil on reflective mylar, combining the luminous, unstable qualities of the support with the artist's characteristically bold and gestural painterly mark. The translucent mylar ground activates the oil paint in unexpected ways, allowing light to pass through and shift the work's appearance depending on its environment. The piece engages Brätsch's ongoing investigation into the boundaries between painting, performance, and display, treating the artwork as a mutable, body-like presence.
