About this artwork
The aim for this work was to create two figures who are so close that they seem to be one. Barbara Kuebel chose black as her favourite colour for printmaking because woodcut in this size should transmit a monumental aspect which only is obvious in black. The wood was taken from a large piece of construction material. The technique intentionally makes use of the strong structure of the wood, the gaps and the natural fibres.

« I am a nervous and impatient person who is dedicated to many things, and still, I found a way to structure my thoughts with the principally one cut line. »
Barbara Kuebel is an award-winning Austrian painter and printmaker based in the United States whose works have been exhibited in both nations, as well as in France, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and Portugal. She cites the "imaginary volume of dissolved and redefined boundaries within the body structures" as being vital in her artistic practice. Kuebel's works explore the themes of people, crowds, and human behavior in limited spaces or environments. Her goal is to create tension between realism and fiction.
