Brand New Monochromes by Stefaan Quix at iMAL, Brussels

29 September – 28 October 2011

Quix presents a new series of small-scale works incorporating the algorithmic and minimal compositions that he usually exhibits as large-scale installations. Here, in a way reminiscent of old and precious miniatures and icons, small wooden boxes embed the latest display technologies of ubiquitous mobile devices (iPod and iPad) to showcase the work on noise and pixel that is so dear to the artist, with a new luminous and surprisingly analog rendering.

One can marvel at the fusion of the pixels (the usual constructive element for Quix) into subretinal textures, blurred as paintstrokes or soft as watercolours.

The artist, while still maintaining to his meticulous approach, explores how new technologies bring about a new perception and new distribution formats for his works.
