Gusts, Draught

Antoine Levi gallery is pleased to present GUSTS, DRAUGHTS by Norwegian artist Olve Sande. This new series of works results from Sande's ongoing research on building materials and, here specifically, on the wind barrier, a membrane habitually used in construction yards that is hastily cut out to be replaced by a window pane. The gesture of the cut-outs is precisely at the origin of a definition of pictorial action's new areas where, indeed, the pigment applied at the back of the cut-out patches emerges as a shadow; the wind barrier acts in this way as a sort of veil, causing the solid images to become distorted as if looking through a fogged window.
