Welcome to the "ThreeViews" world of Dieter List.
<=== Your navigation within the English part of this website
Dieter List works with plaster, more precisely, with plaster bandages.
Plaster bandages are an interesting material. They are predominantly used in the medical field, for example, to repair fractures. Today, however, this is more seldom the case as there are newer
materials.
They are processed wet and harden on drying, then become very firm.
Dieter List gives plaster bandages strong contours and attaches them to stretcher bars. The result are expressive reliefs. He paints them in a special technique, so that the viewer, depending on the
location and depending on the lighting, receives different colour experiences.
He calls this the "ThreeViews" technique and here you can learn more about it.
There is also another technique with which the artist uses plaster bandages. Here, the plaster is smoothed so that
it gets a levelled surface. The bodies that List creates with it are more reminiscent of spaces, of architecture, and are clearer and stricter in their effect than the "ThreeViews" objects.
He uses the term "Pure" for this work and you can find out more here.
