The basis for the 'Stacked Paintings' are a number of paintings made earlier (2012-2017) that are stretched and piled up in the artist's studio.
Markusse selects several works from this colorful stack, which he carefully places in a custom-made plexiglass box. Painting becomes an object.
These actions of (re) selecting and arranging shape and color are very similar to what Markusse does during the process of painting.
