THE INTERTWINING
Exhibited in the group show TRAPARENTESI Milan 2016
The idea behind this work is a combining of the medium of video together with the medium of painting. Introducing the paintings to a simple mapping algorithm enabled the generating of a video - the final work being an installation in which the generative video and the painting were presented simultaneously. As the original paintings are on a transparent substrate a visual intertwining occurred.
CRITICAL WRITING: Curator Chiara Bernadini
The surfaces allow the artist to take full advantage of the light and to play with the observation point of the spectator. What the viewer sees is never the actual place where the hand of the painter was - it could be that it is on the reverse or on a projection of that reverse. Through paintings, installations and exploiting the possibilities of the digital, the artist reflects on the relationship between technology and painting, the virtual and real, and between the natural and the artificial.
Installation - pigments, thermoplastic polymers, acrylic glass, projector, looped generative video. 500mm x1000mm
