Wandbespanning 1911 - 1915

This is 'Wandbespanning', made by Chris Lebeau, and it's a textile piece. Look at how the green, it’s almost a minty kind of green, works with the white to create a calming, almost meditative experience, right? It’s like he’s playing with the idea of repetition, but in a way that feels really gentle and organic. I'm drawn to the way Lebeau uses this pattern. It’s not just a flat surface; you can almost feel the texture, even though it’s smooth. Your eyes can play tricks on you. It reminds me of the way Agnes Martin’s grids create this kind of shimmering, almost transcendental effect. It's like Lebeau is thinking about how we see, how we perceive depth and space, and how these things can affect us on a really deep, emotional level. Thinking about art as a conversation, a back-and-forth across time, I see this piece as part of an ongoing exploration of pattern and perception.
