Passionate about Plexiglas, it is in my opinion exceptional of beauty and purity and just as remarkable of difficulty to work and to combine with other surfaces.
I treat the plates with multiple acrylic layers on the back to obtain a perfect opacity. The gesture must be extremely safe because no mistakes are allowed. There is almost no solvent to catch the smallest burr.
Then, I fix the plates on different backgrounds with spacers to create effects of shadows worn that will continue to make...Passionate about Plexiglas, it is in my opinion exceptional of beauty and purity and just as remarkable of difficulty to work and to combine with other surfaces.

Then, I fix the plates on different backgrounds with spacers to create effects of shadows worn that will continue to make the picture live throughout the day, either by the sun running through the windows, or by the artificial lights of the night.
Backgrounds in painted wood (usually light), Dibond, stainless steel or brushed aluminium lend themselves particularly well to this dance of shadows.
As you can see, the work is complex.
With its real name polymethylmethacrylate, Plexiglas is also known by other trade names such as Altuglas, Perspex, Crystalite and others.
But recognize that with these names it would have been much more difficult to express complexity!
