About this artwork

In this conceptual work, I'm selling the labels; the canvas (a reproduction of Matisse's famous work) is offered with the purchase of all five. That's the whole conceptual approach: selling product labels, not the object itself. And let's talk about labels. There are five of them. One of them provides the washing instructions, which are quite restrictive. No, the canvas isn't machine washable, and you won't be able to iron it, especially since it's… protected by a thin layer of beeswax. Another label lists the pigments I used in this composition. In the small white bag, I added a 10-cent Australian coin. It symbolizes the spare buttons you find when you buy a piece of clothing, but also the work's bare minimum value. Another label announces the starting price. Another marks my unforgeable geometric signature. Finally, I signed the last one.

Victor Abel, a Canadian artist living in Réunion Island, explores the relationship between material, gesture, and light. His work, rooted in research on colors, shapes, and contrasts, is characterized in particular by the use of metal supports and gold leaf gilding. Through his works, he questions the viewer's perception, playing on the effects of depth and movement.

Trained in both traditional techniques and contemporary approaches, he makes his own paints from natural pigments and experiments with processes to bring to life compositions where abstraction dialogues with symbols.

Alongside his creative work, he designs site-specific performances and installations, placing his art in atypical spaces. He also invests in the transmission of knowledge by offering training courses and workshops aimed at different audiences, from young creators to established artists.
