Tauba Auerbach — Enfold/Fold (inner)/Enfold/Fold (outer)
Tauba Auerbach

Enfold/Fold (inner)/Enfold/Fold (outer)

Tauba Auerbach's *Enfold/Fold (inner)/Enfold/Fold (outer)* presents an intricate interplay of folded and layered surfaces rendered in acrylic on canvas, creating a mesmerizing illusion of three-dimensionality. The work explores the tension between flatness and depth, as meticulously painted creases and folds suggest a physical fabric that has been gathered and compressed. Auerbach's precise technique challenges the viewer's perception of the canvas as a two-dimensional object, transforming it into a meditation on structure, geometry, and the nature of surface itself.
