David Renaud's Three Artistic Practices Since the 1980s
Since the late 1980s, French artist David Renaud has developed three distinct bodies of work. His best-known pieces are unlabeled, unscaled maps with wooded areas painted in acrylic or ink. Another series involves camouflage-like decorations and fantasies of surfaces entirely covered in spaghetti patterns. The third consists of wooden discs set in slow circular motion.
