© 2008 Ralph Lichtensteiger

Today I would like to draw your attention to COLLAPSE OF ALL ISMS, a new blog showcasing a selection of Ralph Lichtensteiger's paintings, in particular, from his remarkable THINGS series. These paintings were created with graphite and aluminium, amongst other materials.
Images of these relief paintings and assemblages from the Things series can be accessed under :
Collapse of all Isms - Paintings with acrylic, graphite, aluminium and found objects

To date the series encompasses 142 independent paintings. Apart from hanging them singly, the concept of this series additionally allows for a collective presentation in various groupings. They can be compiled to make up blocks of 4, 9, 16, 25 or 36 paintings, or as a horizontal chain at eye level, depending on conditions of the exhibition space.
