Diagonaler Linealstrichstrukturverlauf (4 x 4), 2019Permanent marker on papereach: 33.5 × 46 cm ( × 18 1⁄8 inches)
In 'Diagonaler Linealstrichstrukturverlauf' (Ruler, Line, Structure, Gradation) the sequence subtly gradates from light to dark. Here, each drawing is divided diagonally, hence creating a larger line pattern, multiplying the gradient effect. This work illustrates the ways in which randomness, when given a particular frame, often reveals emergent order.
Uriarte’s work tends to mix the banal with the sublime. In Diagonaler Linealstrichstrukturverlauf (4 x 4), a daily banal gesture as drawing lines, becomes a monumental work of art.
