Kris Scheifele
New york city artist Kris Scheifele has created a series of sculptures formed from acrylic paint. In working with layers of paint-chips or disintegrated acrylic panels, scheifele has developed an arsenal of artistic techniques to create her experimental actualizations. All of the artist's pieces investigate the physicality of a medium-- removing the surface in which the solution is applied, instead,fashioning forms from the paint itself.

To make the paint balls, scheifele tells us that she begins with a 'kernel of acrylic paint', then paints each small lacquered piece with the same material in order to develop spheres of various sizes-- from the largest nearing the size of a melon or basket ball to the smallest being just a little larger than
a sunflower seed. every orb in 'ball wall' has been carved following the drying of the paint, resulting in the slow reveal of the inner acrylic layers.
The works from 'fades' is formed from acrylic sheets (applied to) permanently pulled up from a wooden support panel, then sliced, carved, peeled
and nailed to the wall in order to allow gravity to finish the formation of each piece. the scheifele further elaborated upon her sculptural techniques.
