My paintings are about time and painterly actions. The time and actions are being put in paint. By repeating the painterly actions over and over again peculiar structures arise that transcend the experiences of paint.
My paintings arise from the hundreds or thousands of different paint layers. These are applied with brushes, paint rollers or other (homemade) painting tools. Throughout the painting process, the gesture is of great importance. The painterly actions are borne.
The actions and time are revealed and can only be read in the multiple layers.
Layer, after layer, after layer, after layer ……..
Sander Reijgers is fascinated by the material and the act. Unstirred, he applies the layers of paint and is only limited by time (the paint has to dry interim) and by the shape the paint takes.
Reijgers patiently follows this process and is almost subject to his own work. The paint follows the act and the paintroller with which it is applied. Very organically, apparant monochrome compositions arise, which closely show their rich tints, because underneath the upper layer, countless other layers appear. They are partly visible because of the wholes the paintroller left on the canvas. Moreover, the structure of the canvas competely and autonomously arises out of the endless repetition of the act.
Bumps, paintlumps, everything is possible, as long as it arises from the act.
At the end of this proces, the image is independant of the creator and the material.
The final result seems to be a simple act which, on closer inspection, is far more layered and represents months of work.
