DI-PRO B/W 1/6 cm together with DI-PRO B/W 2/5 cm, DI-PRO B/W 2/5 cm together with DI-PRO B/W 1/6 cm is a painting, but is perhaps better described as an object designed to highlight the characteristics of the materials used. Translucent polyester is stretched over aluminum frames, painted with technical patterns so that gaps and shadows appear to bring the surface into relief, opening up a third dimension on the two-dimensional surface.
