Daniel Buren’s stripes are legendary. They have become his trademark sized consistently at 8.7cm wide. His fascination with the motif has evolved in the form of paintings, site specific installations and unauthorised public artworks, using striped awning canvasses in France, and posting striped posters around Paris including various metro stations.
Buren studies stripes, cut outs and the use of negative space, three themes which have taken my interest over the summer. I find his work very interesting, I really respect how he has studied the subject of stripes for so many years and experimented so rigorously. Even still his studies are fresh and exciting.
