Drawing in Circles | BEN PERROT

«In my house, paintings pile up in cardboard boxes under the beds. The play of shapes and repetition creates an overflowing accumulation. From time to time, I sort, I classify, I number. Like someone collecting treasures picked up on the beach. I marvel, I try to give meaning to this overflow.»
Drawing in Circles presents several series of painted patterns on sandwich paper, bought from wholesale packaging shops at the Central Market. The work, based on water and pigments, explores with an economy of means the material and the color. In this floor-based practice, the repetitive, almost mechanical gesture punctuates the space and allows for breathing and contemplation.
The installation as a whole, with the precious help of Fares Thabet and Tom Egoumenides, creates an immersive and playful environment where the work in series, in its entirety, fully makes sense.
