Stefan Marx
THERES A RIOT GOING ON
In his edition There’s a Riot Going On, Stefan Marx combines the austerity of black-and-white typography with the opulence of handmade Ebru papers in vibrant colours. His affinity for Japan, where he gained an appreciation for special papers, forms the basis of this series of 52 works in a 70 x 50 cm format. Marx responds to the papers’ sometimes radically varying structures and lush colour palette with ink, an airbrush, stamps, and drawings, offering a playful yet precise reaction to the visual tension. The multi-layered text line ‘THERE’S A RIOT GOING ON’ runs like a red thread through the series, which is as impressive for its formal coherence as it is for the diversity of its individual pieces.
