Art d’Ameublement/Furniture Art Series


Airborne paint particles condense on the inner surface of the transparent acrylic shells that comprise the Art d’Ameublement series. The capture of these aerated solids creates vivid color gradients on the recto of the painting while obscuring views into the depths of its interior. Art d’Ameublement refers to Erik Satie’s Furniture Music (Musique d’ameublement)—a series of infinitely repetitive compositions meant to be background music, or aural décor, for different occasions. Drawing on the psycho-geographic associations of isolation and the unfathomable, each large-scale painting is subtitled with an uninhabited geographic location.
