Throughout his entire artistic research, paper has always been an important media for Kris Ruhs. The catalogue offers to the viewer a wide selection of techniques used by Ruhs, going through over ten years of production in which the artist used alternatively paint, graphite or mixed media on paper. Paper can be shaped, juxtaposed, shredded or glued on surfaces: it will always absorb the media intended to be used, letting the artist’s expression emerge on its rough surface. Ruhs has also been experimenting his most interesting installations with paper, building scenarios that would transform entire places with poetic fragility.
