Felice Varini changes interior space like magicians change hankies into doves, or like alcohol changes ugly people into good looking ones. Points Of View brings together twenty years of his perspective-changing painting techniques.
From carparks and galleries, to even the most boring of corridors, Varini’s shapes and colours make the most mundane places seem sublime.
His work, based on a philosophy that explores architecture, materials, history and function is like a magic-eye for adults and will make you think a little more laterally next time you have to paint your walls or tag your name on a public toilet.
