About this Artwork
Auville works with construction cement. Applying techniques used in the construction and ship building industries, he spreads the cement over high-density foam panels, creating pieces ranging in size from one to eight square meters.
#Z explores various nuances of one single grey. When sunset digests the colours there is only grey before darkness.
This work is inspired by walking along the North European Atlantic shores: indistinctness, mist ... and eventually brightness.
#Z is made of several layers of pigmented cement with a light satin varnish.
The sphere is made of chromated metal.
