Painting, Installation

As a painter I attach great importance to my relation to space.

At a young age I was impressed by George Rousses and Felice Varini’s three dimensional works, even if their approaches varied. Rousses mostly works in abandoned spaces while Varini focusses on public space. In comparison I choose to consider the « hors champ » of an anamorposis process in order to push the boundaries of my abstraction.

A first painting was made of nine forms, arbitrarily composed in a square, and projected throughout the gallery space then extended using photography to develop a new series of paintings on canvas.
