Roman Opałka [website] is a Polish painter born in France in 1931. In 1965, in his studio in Warsaw, Opałka began to paint a process of counting from one to infinity. Starting in the top left-hand corner of the canvas and finishing in the bottom right-hand corner, the tiny numbers are painted in horizontal rows. Each new canvas, which the artist calls a ‘detail’, takes up counting where the last left off. Each ‘detail’ is the same size (196 x 135 cm), the dimension of his studio door in Warsaw. All details are entitled: 1965 / 1 – ∞‘All my work is a single thing, the description from number one to infinity. A single thing, a single life.’ (read more) [thanks to workman]](http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lfjf0abrvI1qd537wo1_1280.jpg
