Bastien Aubry’s artistic approach consists of alienating everyday objects in a playful and ironic way. His mischievous works evoke fascinating visual effects by mixing design, art history and pop culture. The series of Trompe-l’Œils Forever Whatever confounds the visual sense as it combines high-tech and low-tech techniques. Aubry uses found and painted supports onto which he glues photographs of objects, which in turn are highlighted by the contouring of inkjet printing so that the two-dimensional image surfaces give the appearance of spatiality. These works have a spontaneous and uncontrollable aesthetic that comes from improvisation.
