Ann Veronica Janssens Sunset B, CL2E354 and CL2 Blue Shadow, 2020

Sunset B, CL2E354 and CL2 Blue Shadow was commissioned by the Centre Pompidou-Metz on the occasion of the museum's major survey exhibition "Chagall. The Emissary of Light", dedicated to the importance of light and stained-glass window in Marc Chagall's work.

The triptych consists of three glass panels, each made of two layers of vertically ribbed annealed glass that encompass a combination of colored PVC filters. The association of the glass pattern with the colored filter creates iridescent effects and deep changing colors. As one moves around the work, the ribbed surface reflects the light at different angles, creating extreme variations in colors. The work belongs to Ann Veronica Janssens’s ongoing series of “gaufrettes” which highlights the pictorial materiality and spatiality of color.
