yon-H01 | oil on cylindrical board 50x40x13cm + steel pipe | 2017

by pushing the image beyond the boundaries of the traditional support and detaching the painting from the wall, i aim to realize a “full body painting” which encourages the viewer to make the journey around the figure. this continuous changing perspective propose a new confrontation with painting and problematize any fixed understanding of reality.

the fact that it is impossible to grasp a yon-painting on a glance, proposes a specific capturing experience. the eyes perceive a series of fragments that only after a mental organization, based partly on memory, are formed into the entire image.

the cylindrical support stresses the physical presence of the figure and, as it partly keeps the flatness of the traditional canvas, allows me to still use the language of the painting and to freely develop the figure in a continuous pictorial space.

the yon-figures are directly offered to the extra-painterly environment, as they are not inserted in any illusory pictorial space, similar to byzantine icons.
