sous-deco Painting

This painting was part of the collection shown at the "Fat Palimpsest" exhibition. Within the study of architecture, a palimpsest is an object, building, city or work of art that was constructed and intended for one use, then later manipulated for another. There is usually no intention of preserving the underlying work's image or message. This layering becomes an accumulation of fragments. Similar to how palimpsests present compressed and often opposing creative time sequences, each painting originates from a base drawing, that, through addition, masking, and removal, results in a fragmented imaginary narrative. 1977, my birth year, serves as a temporal baseline. Looking at these paintings is an act of reverse futurism.
