His drawings made with incising the metal sheets with graphic needles, by which he is most recognized, are a result of decades of experimenting with materials and techniques worthy of that simple line motif. With graphic needle he incises dense short lines to create vibrating fields activated by moving the viewpoint. That illusion of whirly, vibrant visual phenomena differs from his works on canvases, but not in his conceptual approach or in his preoccupation with surface properties.
