“Pale Geranium Lake and Scarlet (remastered)” is another investigation into abstract picture-making. Here Kaabi-Linke has inflated her three-year-old son’s pen and coloured-pencil drawing on an A4 sheet of paper into monumental size, using the same colours (Pale Geranium Lake and Scarlet) as her son before laying onto canvas. In reality a magnified child’s drawing, it was faithfully reproduced according to Kaabi-Linke’s conceptual print-based strategy that unfolds the small hand drawing step by step into a large scale miniature whose reduced colour profile and calligraphic momentum shares qualities with the highly elaborate formal language of Abstract Expressionism. For Kaabi-Linke this work is about the idea of an impossible painting: impossible in its very proportions, technique and logic.
