Pulfer, Reto - Malerei, Liegengelassenheit is a 2016 unspecified by Reto Pulfer, held at Archaeology and Museum Baselland.
This painting looks like a piece of old fabric stretched flat. The top edge is stitched with a thin blue thread, and the rest is a light beige color. On the right side, there are six blobs of paint—some yellow, some red, some blue—that look like they were dabbed on carelessly. A few faint pencil marks and greenish lines run across the middle, as if someone sketched quickly and then left it. The fabric itself has a worn, slightly rough texture, like it’s been used a lot. The paint splatters stand out against the plain background, making them the only real "art" here. If you like this kind of simple, everyday material used as art, look up Museum of Ethnography.
Reto Pulfer’s paintings mix geometric shapes with bold colors in a way that feels both orderly and playful.
