“The exhibition sharing location includes several large-scale prints of drawings. In these images, some parts of the drawing are cropped away, and the space behind, an area made possible in the translation from one format to another, approaches – a large white space, left open. Added afterwards, a second ground, this space the drawing and […]

The expressions on the faces of those portrayed are intense, seeming to approach the viewer in a kaleidoscopic play of rust, asphalt and other colour nuances associated with […]
Window Display
Working with appropriated material is a long established artistic practise, but the experimental film Pencil Dance (silent version, 1989, 2:48 min) offers a different twist.

Around 1984 he decided to recontextualize […]
