L’INCONNU Luca Moretti

The brush is loaded once. Everything after that is how long it lasts.

Three passes, 1991. Ink on paper.
LX-LMO-001 · Three passes · 1991

Luca Moretti makes one stroke and keeps it or throws it away. He loads a wide brush with ink, sets it down hard, and lets it run dry across the sheet, so the end of every mark is made of single hairs.

His sheets for the House were chosen from more than two hundred. They are about speed and stopping: where the ink runs out is as deliberate as where it begins.

One brush, one load, one pass.
