RED AND BLACK
.
Paint, wood, MDF, IKEA furniture, cords, caster, dimensions variable, 2025
RED AND BLACK is a site-specific installation that explores spatial agitation through the interplay of colour, form and material tension. In this work, red and black, two colours historically loaded with ideological force, are not used as symbols, but as active agents. Their chromatic weight and emotional resonance become tools of disruption.
The installation unfolds as a dynamic composition of intersecting planes, suspended lines and tangled cords.
Colour in my practice is not simply an aesthetic choice but a conceptual and spatial strategy. It carries weight, asserts presence, and activates the environments it inhabits. In RED AND BLACK, colour performs, charging surfaces, dividing planes, and heightening the viewer’s encounter with form and space.
Rather than convey a fixed message, the work sets a tone, charged, compressed, alert. Agitation here is formal, perceptual and affective. It remains unresolved, and intentionally so.
