Woman, Espresso Machine

I would love to write a review on Elad Lassry's new work, exhibit at the White Cube Hoxton Square. Lassry's is known for the intricate «investigation into the nature of perception and the present-day image» plaster down on film and photography. But it was to much on the conceptual bit that I totally missed the art works. The pictures were asking to many visual questions, which the artist has invited us to ask, such as: «How does an object, or texture, react to light? How does an object control the confined space of a picture? How do we perceive surface and substance, flatness and depth? [...] What faculties, [...] do we make use of when we try to decipher these pictures?» that I lost my thought way of into what would be the best to buy: if a wooden painted frame in black; white; or a plain naked wooden frame for a picture, by Mårten Lange, that I have recently acquired.
