Title: Untitled

Date: 2020

Medium: Acrylic on canvas

Artist: Amikam Toren – Chandan Gomes

Exhibition: Ideas Travel Faster than Light, 2020

Chandan Gomes’ instructions to me consists of a well known Zen story (a dream), this is a ‘ready made’ and that notion informed my approach, I use Chandan’s instruction text verbatim. To that end, I deployed ready made fragments/letters which were cut out of ready made painting (while making Armchair paintings). This colourful alphabet tells the story (dream) three times, the fragments/letters are glued to six pieces of canvas, these too are leftovers. The work pretends to be three large butterflies attached to and or resting in three different spaces in the garden.
