Artist Christopher Mercier has a day job as an architect. His use of relief in his artwork -- with pieces coming up off the canvas at different levels -- shows his interest with 3D space. Christopher Mercier's work is almost sculpture and it seems likely that his future work may become entirely self-standing.
The work of Christopher Mercier will be exhibited in April in Los Angeles at the Lawrence Asher Gallery. Check out his site for more.
Ridiculous Relief Art
The Lawrence Asher Gallery Featuring Architect and Artist Christopher Mercie
Trend Themes
1. 3D Relief Art - The use of relief in artwork, with pieces coming up off the canvas, presents an opportunity for new and innovative 3D artistic experiences.
2. Blurring Art and Sculpture - The combination of architectural elements and artwork blurs the line between traditional mediums and opens up possibilities for disruptive innovation in both fields.
3. Self-standing Artworks - The transformation of artwork into self-standing pieces creates an opportunity for unique and interactive installations that challenge the traditional notion of art display.
Industry Implications
1. Art Galleries - Art galleries can explore showcasing 3D relief art to attract new audiences and create immersive experiences that go beyond traditional two-dimensional artworks.
2. Architecture - Architects can integrate elements of relief art into their designs, blurring the line between functional structures and creative expressions.
3. Art Supply Manufacturing - Art supply manufacturers can develop new materials and tools specifically designed for creating 3D relief art, providing artists with innovative resources to explore new artistic possibilities.
