Press release
For its first participation in Art Antwerp, Galerie Dix9 presents three artists who pay attention to the vernacular. Luca Resta, like Niyaz Najafov and Anne Deguelle, seized everyday objects (pizza box, roses in a vase, banal photography) and created a disturbance in the perception of the works then created. The figure of Duchamp can be understood as a tribute to the father of ready made (vernacular objects elevated to the status of works of art).
Moreover, the three artists question the deceptive appearance of things, the improbability of the vases, the unreality of the boxes, the false perception of two portraits that seem different when they are strictly identical.
