*Video is restricted to on campus use* Playing Time: 01:13:59 About the Speaker: Claude Viallat is a French contemporary artist. Working on the idea of repetition he is known for his emblematic "shape" which evokes both a net or flat knot. Applied with a brush and a stencil, this shape acts as a signature of his works, which are never signed. By repeating this shape on a variety of surfaces, unprimed un-stretched canvas, free floating pieces of material and clothes, the artist frees himself of the limits of composition to focus on the combination of colors and its optical effects. Along with this experimentation in painting, Viallat has also pursued work on found objects (pieces of wood, ropes) and combination processes (braiding, knotting etc.).
