Again (Frottage)

2013

A large-scale oil painting on aluminium, *Again (Frottage)* by Toby Ziegler presents a fragmented and pixelated surface that hovers between digital abstraction and physical mark-making. The work references the Surrealist technique of frottage, layering textural rubbings and gestural traces beneath a cold, industrial substrate that disrupts any sense of organic warmth. The tension between the smooth aluminium ground and the painterly intervention creates an unsettling dialogue between the mechanical and the human.
