Though his works evoke 60s Op art Swiss-born artist Philippe Decrauzat s first reference is more likely to be the film Tron than Bridget Riley. Decrauzat works in a variety of media--wall painting shaped canvases sculpture installations and works on paper all of which evidence flat chromatics and complex geometric compositions. Stating "I am not trying to build up a new theory about ideological issues regarding the historical content of abstraction. I am strongly involved in investigating the status of the image in other words indebted to practices trying to outline the critical tools developed by Conceptual and Op art " Decrauzat clues us in to how his seemingly simple mix of appropriated imagery and techniques works. This is Decrauzat s first monograph and includes an essay by critic and curator Bob Nickas..
