Max Van de Perre,
on his work

“I search the streets for graphic elements that intrigue me. These often have a function and meaning. I explore them by photographing them. Ultimately, I strip off their original function. By projecting these photos, I then define with tape the contours of the image that interests me. By painting over it, new patterns emerge. Chance gets its chance: I cause “accidents” through the reaction of the tape with the paint. This results in an aesthetic that I like. The materials do their own work. That’s an element that I have learned to embrace and that I know from my practice in free graphics.”
