12 paintings, acrylic paint on canvas

The colour used on the pictures was produced by mixing colours from all tubes of sets of acrylics colours readily available. For each painting there was exactly one set of colours used. Format of each of the painting is derived from format of the box of the set used for the painting. The dimensions of each box are scaled up so that the whole surface of canvas can be covered by exactly one set of colours. Different sets from different producers were used. Each painting is provided by a text that is copy pasted from the box of colours that was used for the particular painting. That way the final hue is practically predetermined by the producer. The result is a "no-colour" in which all entry colours/information mutually fuse as well as neutralize and diminish each other.
