Felice Varini - Points of View

25th May 06

Felice Varini changes interior space like magicians change hankies into doves, or like alcohol changes ugly people into good looking ones. POINTS OF VIEW brings together twenty years of his perspective-changing painting techniques. From carparks and galleries, to even the most boring of corridors, Varini’s shapes and colours make the most mundane places seem sublime.

His work, based on a philosophy that explores architecture, materials, history and function is like a magic-eye for adults and will make you think a little more laterally next time you have to paint your walls or tag your name on a public toilet.

The inherent self-indulgence of Expressions is what gives it strength. With the pieces stemming from this experimental philosophy, the work communicates the theme of “a vision. A voice. An emotion. A perception”, while simultaneously acknowledging the inherent power of design.

Japanese bound, individually numbered and limited to only 500 copies, Expressions will also leave a lasting impression on whichever bookshelf it lands on.
