Untitled
2013
Mai-Thu Perret's "Untitled" employs an unconventional material combination, applying acrylic paint directly onto carpet that has been adhered to board, creating a textured surface that disrupts traditional painting supports. The work explores the relationship between fine art and domestic or utilitarian materials, challenging the hierarchies that distinguish "high" art from everyday objects. By painting on carpet rather than canvas, Perret invites viewers to reconsider notions of craft, surface, and the aesthetic potential of overlooked materials.
