Part of van Scherpenberg’s ‘Feuerbach’ series, the abstract work testifies to the significance of materiality for the artist. Art historian Paulo Herkenhoff attests to the role of the ‘visible disintegration’ of materials in Scherpenberg’s work, a preoccupation with the ‘necessarily temporal nature of art’. Scherpenberg uses detergents such as salt and vinegar applied to fine plates of aluminium or copper to produce pigments like Verdigris through chemical reactions.
