✂️ “I have always been an artist,” says @gregorbecker.studio (Gregor Becker). “And a few years ago I decided to make it my life.” Drawing on his background as a gardener and landscape architect, Gregor explores paper as a living substance, constructing his work out of countless pieces of it, carefully placed to create a three-dimensional service that transforms with the light of day. His creative process is thoughtful, deliberate and never rushed. “The first thing I had to leave behind was the idea of the instant,” says Gregor. “Outside my window there is a tree that has been growing for a hundred and fifty years, and it is beautiful because of that. I work at that pace.” Using tweezers, he places each hand-painted piece one at a time, working without a grid or template, intuitively deciding where each piece belongs as the work takes shape.

“I did not learn this technique; I built it up from scratch and it is inseparable from the artist who made it,” shares Gregor. “It is a language before it is a technique, and a language is not a set of instructions. It grows out of who you are and how you look at the world, and it can only be spoken by the one it belongs to.” 🌳

This painting doesn’t exist.
Not as one image, anyway, it becomes a different work every hour of the day.

The image is never fixed. It assembles, dissolves, and reassembles with the light and with the position of whoever stands before it — so that no two encounters, and no two hours, are ever the same. What Gregor Becker constructs, over months, is not a picture but the conditions for one to keep occurring.
