XOXO: every single dot with O represents a hug and the X a kiss.

This particular work has one big hug in white. Do you see the huge circle on this work? It represents a big hug! There are many more circles in this work. They all represent hugs and kisses.

Niederhauser builds layers from the surface of each canvas to present dots of colour that appear in 3D. This manipulation of space through colour change and combination challenges the viewer’s perception of depth.

CANVAS:
This particular work is painted on a high-quality woodpanel canvas which is 3.5cm deep and collaged with book pages on all 4 sides.

SERIES:
It is part of her new series hugs and kisses: XOXO

INSPIRATION:
I was very fascinated during packing of artworks to send overseas and discovered the bubble wrap paper with bubble and started to paint on those. It ended up with my new successful collection.

COMMENTS FROM THE STUDIO
The base layer of this work is a collage of book pages, I add bubble wrap paper and 4 layers of highest grade artist resin. Most bubbles are fully covered with resin and swim in it and are still visible as bubbles, in some parts of the artwork the bubbles are half in the resin. It gives a really nice play. The book pages are on some parts still visible. I love how it turned out.
