Marking a bold evolutionary shift toward guided chance and intuitive gesture, Black and White III, Line Drawing (2022) by Austrian artist Clemens Wolf is a compelling mixed media work on paper centered on turning everyday materials into sensual art objects. To create this black and white abstract line drawing on paper, Wolf dips industrial parachute lines into epoxy resin and launches them onto paper, allowing the composition to freeze in whatever organic configuration it lands. Palpable paint splatters surround the entangled cord, capturing the immediate velocity and physical movement of the artist's hand. Upon hardening, the resin imparts a crisp, sculptural three-dimensional relief to the linear artwork. A graduate of the University of Arts Linz whose work resides in world-class collections such as the Albertina Museum, Wolf presents a sophisticated, museum-grade piece of fluid energy and tactile depth.
 
Clemens Wolf declares himself a champion of sensuality: 'I'm really interested in the process of transforming something trivial into a sensual object. The guided coincidence plays a major role in the making of the works. Clemens Wolf has learned to let things happen. His previous work has been stringent and precisely composed. The framed works "Line Drawings" are an abstract mixed media example of the new era: ropes and strings dipped in epoxide resin are thrown against a piece of paper and are left to freeze in whatever composition they land in. Color splashes cover the picture: the hand's motion that has landed the rope is palpable and visible.
