Theory and Problems by Pierre Lauwers

Artist book by Sao Paulo-based artist Pierre Lowells.

This book contains silkscreen murals designed and produced by Lowells between 2014 and 2018. Lowells applied the silkscreen frame directly to the wall and applied CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, key plate), which are the standard colors of color printing, one color at a time while shifting the frame to produce this work. There are various motifs, but the character motif that makes this work particularly impressive is based on the sticker that is pasted on the back door of most cars in Brazil. Although Lowellus' interest in visual representations of scientific phenomena and phenomena is typical of his minimalist style, in this work he explores patterns more sensuously, and this contradictory element brings dynamics to the work. The work was reconstructed through the process of digitization and reproduced on a scale of 1/4 of the original.

Limited to 150 copies, numbered by the author.
