Michael Wilkinson — Le Renversement (Noir)
Michael Wilkinson

Le Renversement (Noir)

A mysterious and tactile work, Le Renversement (Noir) layers blackboard paint on linen mounted on board with beeswax, inviting both visual and sensory engagement. Copper tape, oil, and verdigris applied over a digital print introduce an alchemical tension between the industrial and the organic, the ancient and the contemporary. Wilkinson's process speaks to transformation and reversal, allowing materials to age, react, and evolve as living elements within the composition.
