Reflection Paintings 2024 by Davide Cantoni (In-Store Only)
Each work consists of two canvases which are made together, untouched by any tools except for the paint and canvas. The paintings almost make themselves. As reflected copies of each other, the two resulting canvases are one and the same but also their own opposite. Though separate, they are both simultaneously “originals” and copies of one another, mirrored counterparts, together become the complete work. Each pair is an invitation to spatial access to a kind of doubled place, a doubled reality. The viewer is located between the image and its mirrored reflection, never really knowing which is which.
