Acrylic paint on printed PVC banner

A deep dialogue between photographic traces, the painterly process, and industrial banners, bringing radically cropped details of the often overlooked background from film stills, family albums, and self shot photographs into the focal point of perception. | 2017 - 2022

Emerged from a moment of technical dissatisfaction.
Initial attempts to print photographs directly onto industrial PVC banners produced results that felt flat and unresolved. This friction sparked a response, leading to scratching, scraping, and painting over the printed surface. What began as a reaction turned into a method, introducing a tactile layer and structural complexity that transformed the image.

Beyond its conceptual role, the industrial banner offers practical autonomy. Lightweight, weatherproof, and rollable, the material simplifies logistics without compromising scale. The installation is equally straightforward, using standard nails through the built in metal eyelets. Yet beneath this industrial frame, the pieces carry a surprising intimacy and visual warmth.

The source material that becomes these artworks is drawn from the never ending flood of images in contemporary culture, giving the blurry margins and overlooked details that usually slip away a permanent place to linger.
