Two works: Field of Rest

Two works comprising *Field of Rest* by Cyprien Gaillard brings together Polaroid photography and silkscreen printing, united within sleek aluminum frames of the artist's own design. The pairing reflects Gaillard's ongoing fascination with entropy, landscape, and the traces left by human presence, capturing quiet, elegiac scenes that hover between documentation and abstraction. The choice of Polaroid lends an intimate, fleeting quality to the imagery, while the silkscreen process introduces a layer of mechanical reproduction that subtly tensions the handmade against the industrial.
