David Hominal breathes new vitality into the exercise of still life, through a series of paintings of dead leaves.
Published in the Before publication series, which gathers the pre-publications of authors' texts or artists' inserts, as a preview before their final publication in L'Effet papillon II (second volume of L'Effet papillon, 1989-2007, catalogue of the Centre d'édition contemporaine published in 2008).
Working primarily with painting—principally in series—David Hominal (born 1976 in Evian, France, lives and works in Berlin) also explores sculpture, drawing, film, printmaking, performance, and installation. His multifaceted work is the offspring of an exceptionally intense relationship with the world. It is a place where images drawn from both personal and everyday sources interact; where disciplines such as dance, music, and the visual arts converge.
