Surface And Depth #316 is the palest of these works. A warm sand tone at the top gives way to cool grey-blue below, a transition that recalls wet shore meeting water without describing either. Across it, Guillaume Grando models fine diagonal ripples in resin over acrylic on wood, sanded and sculpted until the surface responds to light as water does. Because the colour is so restrained, the image depends on reflection: it brightens, flattens or deepens with the conditions of the room. The work shows the artist's formal research at its most economical, with colour, gesture, movement, light and material held in a narrow range.
