Although Robert Pan (1969, Italy) was educated to become a sculptor, he has chosen the two-dimensional surface for his artistic creations. His creations are not supported by wooden panel, canvas or paper, but by a metal grid and his 'painting material' is petroleum-based synthetic resin. With respect for these materials and patience for the drying process implicit to this method, he superimposes dozens of monochromatic liquid layers of resin one by one. Like lumpy and shiny semi-transparent veils, they cover the surface colour after colour. After this, Pan sands the layered surface open again in various places, creating an enigmatic drawing. The different colors shimmer through in an idiosyncratic and apparently independent process.
