Denial of Perspective Georges Rousse

Stumble upon this in Exibart It’s really not that hard to do this kind of art if you think about it. Project a design onto something and trace it exactly, including the scratching areas. The concept is cool and although it would be interesting to see actual photographic art, say an image of a tiger, imagine how ugly that would seem when not in perspective. I assume he went with minimalistic abstract because it won’t hurt the eyes when not in perspective. Imagine a room full of slashes of dozens of different colours in one room. It would be a garish horror scene.

While Georges Rousse has been painting rooms in a similar fashion to Varini, his work differs in that the photograph is the end point of the work. And where Varini relies solely on the applied paint surface to achieve the illusion of flatness, Rousse employs additional architectural elements to create situations like these.
