EG Series by Jaan Poldaas

We are thrilled to present an installation and reconfiguration of an older work, Paintings from the EG Series, 1978. In Roald Nasgaard\'s words, in this significant work, \"Poldaas examines colour from the perspective of its social use, choosing examples from the public environment (the EG stands for exempli gratia, \"for the sake of example\") and represents them as single panels of monochrome colour. A selection of titles from the series gives the idea\" :

Security Yellow after Metro Police

Green after Metro Parks

Red after Toronto Fire Department

Blue after Via Rail

Red after Coca-Cola

This work is now available as an editioned, multi-panel work.
