Visionary British artist Daniel Pasteiner is currently presenting his latest collection at studio1.1 London on Redchurch Street. With psychedelic pieces, created using a process of sandblasting and painting onto salvaged glass solar panels, Daniel Pasteiner brings to life a highly unique final product with unparalleled detail and exquisite depth.
Daniel, who is a conceptual artist, having earned his BA at the Camberwell School of Art, and his MA in Fine Art at the Royal College of Art, shares more of his process with a step-by-step guide to creating his complexed masterpieces:
First, a stencil is used to mask out areas of the panel that is then sandblasted creating shapes of matt etched glass.
Then, acrylic varnish mixed with watercolour is painted onto the panel oriented horizontally.
After the first layer has dried a second layer is applied and the panel is tilted at a thirty-degree angle allowing the paint to flow across the surface.
The piece may be completed at this stage, but if not further layers/marks are applied.
Finally, the panel is framed in steel, there is a shadow gap between the panel and the frame.
As a result, we experience an ethereal final experience, with psychedelic nuance and such detail from the creative process that the tableaus exude a super-human creative energy, in a universe of their own, created in divine conjunction as if artificial intelligence manifested in the physical realm.
According to Daniel Pasteiner and studio1.1 London, “The thin paint membrane covering the jet-black void of glass may remind us of the fragile boundaries between earth’s atmosphere and space, between human world meaning and cosmic non-meaning.”
Additionally, upon entry to the gallery space, we are greeted by a suspended sculpture, featuring a net bag full of purple and black polystyrene model buildings covered in pigmented render and spray paint.
