Daniel Lergon — lacquer on retro-reflective fabric
Daniel Lergon

lacquer on retro-reflective fabric

Daniel Lergon's work applies lacquer to retro-reflective fabric, creating a surface that shifts dramatically depending on the viewer's position and light source. The industrial material, typically used for high-visibility safety wear, is transformed into a painterly field where light bounces back with an almost uncanny intensity. The interplay between the applied lacquer and the fabric's inherent reflective properties challenges the boundaries between painting, material, and perception.
