'nine dancing triangles' by felice varini
photos by andré morin




swiss artist felice varini, known for his site specific geometric paintings, has conceived one of his most recent works entitled 'nine dancing triangles'.
the piece depicts a collection of bold red shapes, very characteristic of varini's work, pirouette across the barrels below.
this appears from one angle as a two-dimensional, cohesive painting, however, when shifting perspective the audience sees a jumble of brightly
colored lines and forms that seemingly to have no relationship to one another. the artwork was created on location at chateau
chasse-spleen, moulis en medoc in france.



the triangles are painted in a particular way so that they can only be seen cohesively from a certain angle



when viewed from a slightly different angle the image is completely distorted



the shapes look random an unorganized from this view
