Bad Painting Phase 2: reduction
The reduction of a painting to its title or even to the memory of it is the core idea of this section of Bad Painting Phase 2. I would like to keep this page as a work-in-progress description of the artistic process of work and thought.

The reduction of the painting to its title
acrylic on white sheets
The crime scene
I have removed all the subjects of the scenes. The paintings refer to the original Bad Paintings as indicated.

Crime Scene 01: relating to Bad Painting 101
The reduction of the painting to a memory
The title is written on a loose sheet of canvas outside the actual viewing space. Once the visitor reads the title and forms an image. This image might be based on the actual painting or is a self-created image. With this image in mind, the visitors find themselves in an empty room with only the memory of the title.
Title refers to Bad Painting 4
