Belvoir-Park in Zurich 

Varlin's "Belvoir-Park in Zurich" is likely made with oil on canvas, using traditional painting methods. Here, the material handling is straightforward; pigments mixed with oil, applied with brushes, to create an image. Yet, the visible brushstrokes and varying textures of the paint create a sense of immediacy, as if the park scene were captured spontaneously. The artist's hand is evident in every stroke, emphasizing a direct connection between the artist and the depicted scene. This tactile quality brings a unique dimension to the painting, setting it apart from mechanical modes of production. The painting embodies a unique sensibility that merges traditional techniques with a personal expression. Varlin's approach challenges conventional distinctions between fine art and craft, demonstrating how the artist's touch can elevate a simple scene to a work of profound expressiveness.
