plasticine on ply, artist's frame
Dan Rees presents a work that is as much about material honesty as it is about process, embedding plasticine directly into plywood to create a tactile, unpretentious surface that blurs the line between sculptural object and painting. The artist's choice to frame the work himself further emphasizes a deliberate, hands-on engagement with every aspect of the piece's presentation. The humble, everyday quality of plasticine — a material associated with childhood play — sits in quiet tension with the formal context of the framed artwork.
