St茅phane Dafflon: Lighting Cross
Parra & Romero is pleased to present the first solo exhibition by St茅phane Dafflon (Switzerland, 1972) at the gallery. Titled 鈥楲ighting Cross鈥�, the exhibition features a new range of paintings and sculptures created specifically for this show.
His works are a result of recombination of mental images, cultural trends, graphic design, minimalism, modernism, postmodernism, added a new pop reflection on the digital image and the possibilities of sampling, on commercial art and on the world of consumption. Stephane鈥檚 work as well as his generation complete the mix with unbridled passion for the sound and music, especially for St茅phane, Free Jazz Music is a connection to noise and the idea of improvisation, producing an encounter between the self-absorbed and inexpressive painting made in Switzerland and the most underground American dream.
Dafflon鈥檚 paintings, wall drawings, installations and sculptures are elemental abstractions constructed like visual signs. They always begin at the computer screen. Digitally manipulating line, colour, pattern, orientation, and size, Dafflon ultimately obtains a rhythmic control spatiality that is at once economical and playful. From within the rigorous nature of many of his works emerge nuanced eccentricities or deviations from the norm that startle the eye. This active energy is further amplified by the engulfing scale and bright colour palette typical of Dafflon鈥檚 works.
