INFOWith his painting Daniel Lergon examines the reaction of light on specific surfaces and their materiality. Therefore, he uses reflective fabrics, oxidizing metal surfaces as well as pigments on yellow neon canvas. All his works have the idea of the charged painting ground in common, which is either changed by transparent lacquer with its reflecting quality, a chemical reaction or an almost translucent first painting layer. This leads forth individual kind of paintings, which unlock their visual potential in the correlative interplay between light and surface.
