CHALK OUTLINE

2007

Piet Van starts from the idea that a chalk outline is used on the ground outlining evidence at a crime scene. Police officers take photos and add numbers to the supporting documents. What would this look like with Salvador Dalì or Marilyn Monroe? 

​

Normally there are also numbers associated with the various elements in the painting, but for Piet Van the aesthetic conflicts with the concept.
