(des)larguem-me
2006 |
)
|
| seven interchangeable paintings upon a fake wall unit (the wall unit is upholstered with thick felt - in this case white / the canvasses have velcro on the back. They are textured and show, depending on the viewer's angle and lighting, different layers of paint - mostly bluish hues but also reds etc. To be displayed in any order) This work reflects the mutable nature of the artist (among others), and is an ironic statement regarding the World. (a work of multiple meaning & symbolism)
- A photo with better resolution shall soon be uploaded to replace this one. |
