Arthur Cordier (1993) uses discarded truck tarpaulin as a basis for his paintings. He applies a composition of organic and abstract shapes to the weathered and discolored surface of the sail with tape and sticker sheet. The organic shapes are based on photos of plant leaves that he cuts from vinyl and pastes on the painting. The vinyl is partly removed, leaving the shapes half-revealed and half-hidden.In other works, the vinyl is used as a temporary template to bleach out the contours of the plants on the PVC and make them visible. In addition to this formal research, Arthur Cordier also makes a social statement by using material that no longer has any economic value in the artistic process.

With works by Janice McNab.
