true colours miniatures

the true colours series started as a research project into colour and was motivated by the desire to create a framework in which nature can express itself and maintain beauty. lex works with 6 rectangle panels of industrially processed brass, aluminium, steel and copper. he applies various chemical processes to generate oxidization of the material and records the formula with typography on the face of each panel. as each metal transforms from one shade to the next, it creates a unique alchemistic colour palette, revealing how nature can produce extraordinary results.
