Aluminium panel with DG3 sheeting

In his series Brume (Mist) Saâdane Afif is using rectangular aluminium plates covered with customary whitish grey or green holographic foil, like those used for road signs. The foil reflects light but does not dazzle the eye, so that you feel as if you were looking into a foggy landscape. The dimensions and titles of the works are referring to famous paintings from the 19th and 20th century, here by René Magritte, well known for thought provoking images, which Afif adepts in a subtle manner.
