Although Louis Reith is mainly known for his monochrome works, where pages from vintage books and his modernist-inspired geometrics function as portal to imaginary times, Day One, – Two, and –Three is a series of screen prints where the artist further explores a current interest in the use of color.

Yet, even in color, the artist tries to accomplish unusual yet familiar results. In his previous Riso publication, Phasing Consequence Reith worked mainly with custom-made inks, and for a special edition he created a bootleg, printed with black, grey, and white ink on white, grey and black paper as a way to mislead the viewer and let it question the used material.

For this screen print series with Varsi, the artist used found photos of Mt. Murō to create textures and gradients within the hard-edge compositions, not to achieve recognition and smooth colour transitions, but rather to emphasise atmospheres in abstraction.
