James Clarkson, Relief Construction, 2012. Citroen Picasso car windows, windscreen wiper blades, exhaust parts and an exploded metal replica of Picasso’s signature - 90 x 220 cm
“’A Painted Sun as a Yellow Spot’ brings together a composition of sculptural and wall based works made almost entirely from parts of a Citroën Picasso. Using these materials James Clarkson has created a playful response to Henri-Georges Clouzot’s 1954 film Le Mystère Picasso which depicts Picasso at work in a fictional studio as he paints on to a specially constructed transparent canvas that allows the viewer to witness, unobstructed, the fluidity of the artist’s hand in motion.”
