A new series by Alex Spremberg takes inspiration from the Greek concepts of Chronos (measured time) and Kairos (the quality of time). We are preoccupied with time – its relentless passing, its indifference to human perception or intervention.

In music, literature, and performance, narratives unfold sequentially. Painting, however, compresses time – each brushstroke builds upon the last, yet the final artwork exists as a singular moment of its making. This work captures two distinct moments – each canvas is halved geometrically and painted at different times, with each segment interrupting and completing one another, forming an unpredictable whole.

This ongoing exploration of time invites new possibilities in painting, with the artist acting as a mediator between process and idea, revealing the layered, temporal nature of creation.
