A cycle of successive reproductions of his own pictural material
The new series introduces a pictural element that departs from his recent works shown at Roberts & Tilton (LA) and Eleven Rivington (New York): each painting bears the same pattern of vertical columns. The intricate mist of colors and the discreet serial shapes are now hindered by stark white bars. Israel Lund's work was until now based on a cycle of successive reproductions of his own pictural material, processed through actual silkscreen as well as iPhone capture applications. Painting is thus thought as an analogy of the Larsen effect: the material is self-generated in a grey zone where the difference between control and accident become confused. Until now, the reflexive aspect of Lund's work was induced by concrete techniques and material gestures; the overt quotation opens a new conceptual field. The opening is part of Brussels Art Days weekend.
