Editor: This untitled lithograph by Martin Disler features stark black shapes on a white background. The bold forms feel almost aggressive. What can you tell me about it? Curator: Considering Disler's practice, I see a focus on the lithographic process itself. The stark contrast highlights the physical act of applying ink to stone. We see the artist's labor in the deliberate marks and the interplay between positive and negative space. It's a challenge to traditional painting, isn't it? Editor: I see that. It's less about representation and more about the physicality of creating the image. Thank you! Curator: Precisely. And this highlights the means of production and making of art. The process is very important here.
