"18 Questions With" is an interview series featuring the artists, curators, and gallerists driving art's next wave.

Marc Nagtzaam's artistic practice is defined by repetition, structure, and meticulous mark-making. His graphite drawings, often monochromatic and covering the entire surface of the paper, consist of grids, patterns, and text, created through a disciplined process of layering. While his method is highly structured, it remains open to subtle variations, ensuring that each work is unique. For Nagtzaam, repetition is not just a visual strategy but a meditative and conceptual approach, where the act of drawing is as significant as the final composition. His process often begins with existing fragments - architectural details, magazine texts, or elements from previous works - which he systematically redraws and transforms.
