    Oliver Wagner (b. 1969, Zurich, Switzerland) experiments with labour, speculation and volatility to examine notions of skill, care and chance. Drawing from the history of painting, Wagner employs house paint rendered into dust as his primary medium for both permanent and ephemeral works. This involves two approaches, one being cascades of house paint dust, named “Reconstructed Paintings” and gestural compositions where the dust is brushed off the picture plane, named “Removed Paintings.”
