In Ida Kvetny’s installations, juxtaposed paintings, drawings, animations and sculptures all contribute to the same investigation of the limitations of painting. Her cut-out drawings mirror the stencils that her paintings have been spraypainted through. Only they are negations: the cut-out removes what the spraypaint adds. The figurative elements in the paintings have been cast to sculptures whose shadows are thrown onto the projection of animated drawings. The sculptures rest on a base of braided canvases. Tiles, spraypainted through stencils, become sculptural drawings as they cover floors or form walls.
