Morning light at the Ministère de la Culture rue Saint-Honoré.
The 1920 building was wrapped in a lacey stainless steel web by architect Francis Soler as part of its renovation in 2005. The laser cut shapes were inspired by an Italian Renaissance painting reworked and then deformed to abstraction.
Absolutely elegant i love following your site. Always something exciting. I am going to experiment with more silvers and metallic paints. The give away painting is drying!

Lovely and gossamer. However, the best of this post was the "reworked and then deformed to abstraction."
ReplyDeleteRather sounds like me at 60! Happy spring to you and family.
What a beautiful way to do a renovation!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Karena. Inspiration is everywhere!
ReplyDeleteHBD I object! How about "distilled to perfection"? Sweet Spring to you and yours as well!
Art - Yes, it really works. Old and new together have the power to surprise.
