Quayola has created a new multi-screen video-installation Strata#4

Using a series of paintings from the Palais des Beaux Arts’ Flemish collection and specifically focusing on the Rubens grand altarpieces, Strata #4 strips away the outer layers of dramatic symbolism from the masterpieces and explores the world beneath their figurative skins. Quayola uses custom software to decode the rules present in the proportion, composition and colour of each painting, defining colour palettes, patterns and structures, and generating new abstract geometries following those very same rules.
