Panorama

1995

Dominique Dehais

Painting

150 x 279 cm

Acrylic on medium. © ADAGP.

Panorama explores the limits between sculpture and painting, between decorative coloured panels and conceptual art. After painting wooden boxes, the artist brings them together in a random fashion, resisting the temptation to create an aesthetic affect. The result is an unplanned construction of colours that invites the viewer to go beyond their initial perception of the work.
