Object Detail
About the Work
‘Charmer’
is
inspired
by
the
French
art
movement
Support/Surfaces,
active
in
the
late
1960s
and
early
1970s,
who
worked
to
reconstruct
the
foundational
elements
of
painting
(the
canvas
and
the
stretcher)
and
break
from
art
tradition
by
freeing
the
canvas
from
the
stretcher’s
form.
Parkes
does
this
by
hanging
a
dramatically
rumpled
canvas
onto
the
stretcher,
making
the
painted
canvas
the
focal
point
of
the
work
and
creating
a
joyous
three-dimensional
form
that
emerges
towards
the
viewer.
