On top of the black paintings, pictures of black tarpaulins have been (silk screen) printed. In this way, Einarsson has superimposed an extra layer, thereby screening and concealing things. Looking at the works, you can see that the tarpaulins are the type used to protect against wind and weather and also to screen and conceal things. When the picture of a tarpaulin is added to a painting using the silk screen technique, it becomes an added layer concealing and protecting the painting beneath: a layer interposed between the artwork and our perception and enjoyment of it, thereby delaying the art experience and rousing our interest.Exhibitions
