About this artwork

The game with the viewer is key in the works of Bernat Daviu. Daviu is interested in how the phenomena that happen outside or around the work of art define, to a large extent, the experience of the work. In the case of the paintings presented, this fact is evident. They are generally monochrome works that collect shadows of unforeseen elements that usually accompany his (and other) paintings. From indoor plants to cats, flies or the passionate hand of a gallery owner or collector, which interfere and, at the same time, leave an image on the pristine surface of the painting. Daviu is interested in all these everyday elements, such as the flies in his studio or the collector's cat that in a fit of rage decides to pounce on the painting with its claws, enter into a dialogue with Monochrome, a landmark in the history of Modern art painting.
