What are the boundaries between life and art? Where does the everyday object end and the artwork begin? These fundamental questions, left unresolved even after Marcel Duchamp’s readymades and John Cage’s radical expansions of artistic practice, continue to challenge the definitions of art upheld by both the public and the art world.
This project examines this blurred territory by treating canonical works of art as ordinary objects. Classical paintings, sculptures, and installations — as reproduced in art history books — are approached as neutral still life subjects. Through direct observation and meticulous sketching, the artist redraws these iconic works, stripping away their aura of cultural authority and repositioning them within the realm of the everyday.
