In the "Gesture Project" series of works, Kuehn tests his physical limits by drawing geometric figures in which the length of his arms and their radius define the field of action. Circles, triangles, and squares appear in imperfect form through the repetition of the same drawing stroke in rapid and gestural performance. The deviations caused by manual repetition become recognizable and the irregularities of stroke lines are brought into focus. The felt-tip pen drawings on linen convey a sense of instability and imperfection, while at the same time emphasizing the artist's rapid gestural movement. In Kuehn's work, free action always encounters a sense of limitation, whereby the two dimensions – that of creative freedom and that of expressive limitation – are interconnected and interdependent. Without one, the idea and meaning of the other would not exist.
