With Flächen (Zeichnungen / Farben), Marc Nagtzaam moves his drawing language into the field of Japanese risograph printing. Pencil lines become color planes, grids, and subtle shifts. The precision of his hand meets the limits of this mechanical technique, creating tension.
The print consists of overlapping red, green, and black planes that never fully cover each other. In these small deviations, the image breathes: a balance between order and rhythm. Repetition turns into attention, discipline makes room for chance. Each print is unique: the layers cannot be reproduced, registration is never exact.
Here, the risograph is not a reproduction tool but a drawing instrument: a drawing built from rhythm, overlap, and stillness. The paper passes through the machine multiple times; tiny shifts per layer reveal the grid and give texture to the planes. The work navigates the line between manual and mechanical, where repetition does not lead to monotony but to a delicate vibration of attention and material.
Each print stands as both a document of the printing process and an autonomous drawing. Concentration and discipline are made visible in every unique piece.
