About the artwork

Testing gravity is a woodcut by Barbara Kuebel. The figure appears to float in an uncertain space, as if testing both its own reality and the one we assume to exist. Deep black emphasizes the wood’s structured grain, which creates subtle shading and enhances the dynamic of the composition.

“I wanted the viewer to feel in a state of absurd pleasure, with humor as an essential part of this exercise,” says Barbara Kuebel.
