One stroke, six panels, and it does not stop at the joins

Six white panels hung as one field: a long red arc on the left, a heavy black sweep crossing the middle with a drip falling from it, a red disc, and a short black bar below

Six white panels hung as one horizontal field, crossed by a single sweeping black brush stroke, a red arc beneath it, a red disc in the middle and a short black slash; a visitor stands looking at it — Espronceda, Barcelona, November 2020, photographed by Victor.

Six white panels hung together as one field, and a single black stroke that crosses every join between them. It begins bottom left as a dry dragged mass, lifts into a hard black bar along the top, then breaks apart into spray and falls away to the right.

The same six-panel work on the far wall of the room, with a visitor in a VR headset standing in front of the screen beside it — The wall it shared with the VR station.

Close view of the red arc, dry-brushed and grainy, ending in a small red blob where the brush left the surface — The red arc, and the blob where the brush lifted off.

A red arc runs beneath it the other way and ends in a small red blob, where the brush left the surface. A red disc sits in the middle, wound on in a spiral. One short black slash below it.

Close view of the black sweep at its heaviest, with a drip running down out of it — The drip. Gravity got there before the paint dried.

The stroke was made in one pass and the paint was still wet — a drip runs down out of the black where gravity got to it before it dried. The panels are square and still. The mark is not.
