Expanded Metal Pigment Paintings
For these paintings, Wolf uses expanded metal as a brush and thus creates abstract paintings. The irretrievable moment is found here in the expressive painting process. Also, he adds pigment powder onto these works which he calls “Expanded Metal Pigment Painting” as a reference to the process. The question of figuration and abstraction plays a central role in both groups of works.
