FORMAT/S

The square format was initially selected as the most effective; in preference to the rectangle, which carries too many realist connotations: window, landscape, etc.

Recently I introduced the rectangular format to accomodate scenes in which,—as in 'Histoires...'#33 (Blow Torch.Ballerina)—the objects have an horizontal emphasis.

As an alternative, I have also done a version of that piece in a dyptych format, which consists of two square aluminium + acrylic panels (51 x 51cm), each carrying the image of one of the two objects.
This latter format will give the owners of the piece more flexibility in the display of the work; like some Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque versions of the Annunciation did, where the Angel and Mary are painted on separate panels, which, depending on their size, can be displayed close or wide apart.

I developed this dyptych format during an artist residency at Kashi Art Gallery (Kochi, Kerala), for 'HISTOIRES...' and for a new series, entitled:'MUSEO-GRAPHIES'.
