abstract

Painted in superblack, the monochrome conceals its tessellated surface from a distance, as if attempting to hide its underlying structure even from close inspection.

formats

*based on a work started in 2014 with Els Vermang

formats

standard formats are 60x60, 80x120

text

The permutations are a series of unique reliefs exploring the tessellation of a surface in divisions and subdivisions. By combining a rule-based approach with randomness, the work formalises the artist’s concept of random order. . The resulting shapes, or geometries, are the vocabulary, whereas their permutation is the syntax of the work, constituting its formal language. Following this principle of tessellation and permutation, an unlimited number of variations is obtained, and each relief is just an extract of the infinite surface.
