More about François Perrodin
The monochrome wall objects by François Perrodin clearly stand out against the white ground, facing off directly with the viewer. While the works are perceived head-on as painted polygonal, angular surfaces, as soon as the viewer moves through the room, their contours begin to change. “The object remains the same of course, but the way we see it is altered by the context,” is how the artist himself puts it.
François Perrodin defines criteria for each series with respect to the surface qualities, the proportions, which are based on numerical ratios, and the color values and their interaction. Despite these rational components, however, the perception of his works defies our comprehension. We can only grasp them intuitively, and do so in continually changing ways.
