All color tests are photographed before and after installation in the shop window. How lightfast is the color, how much has it faded? The shop window becomes a test laboratory and a place where the works develop further in the light.

Paper ink color studies - the shop window as a test laboratory

Solveig Gubser exhibits a selection of color studies in a shop window.

She lets wet paper scraps dry on price tags. The traces of the water are visible through changes in the colors. Or she places wet post-its and those cut into strips on an old document envelope. After drying and removing the post-its, beautiful drawings emerge.

Solveig Gubser (1984) is a designer (Industrial Design, MA, UdK Berlin) and freelance artist from Switzerland. She currently lives and works in the Netherlands. In parallel to her work as a designer, she is intensively involved with the medium of drawing, installation, intervention and photography. Her focus is on process-based, generative work, the visual language that emerges through serial work and the possibilities for its further development. Random elements, found objects and observations from her everyday life and nature are the inspiration and starting point of her work.
