Matti Kujasalo creates intricate multicolored patterns using thin strips of tape, sometimes as small as one-tenth of a millimeter in diameter. With each new layer of tape, he paints a new color, always finishing his paintings with black and peeling back the tape layers to reveal a grid of rainbow hues. A Constructivist painter, Kujasalo’s work displays the artist’s strong interest in color-field painting and mechanical, serial painting techniques.
