JOHAN DE WILDE: Hands of Time: Pars pro toto

This book is the third volume of the Hands Of Time series and covers De Wilde’s new works from the period 2017–2021. It depicts three series of drawings: Pars Pro Toto (2018–2020); Requiem – The Long Goodbye (2017–2018, published in the book Requiem, MER. 2019), which he created in remembrance of art historian Tanguy Eeckhout; and Pi – Fugue pour les survivants (2007–work in progress, part of the collection of S.M.A.K.), which began with the irrational number pi and continues in a long series of numbers after the comma.
The Pars pro toto series is based on Fra Angelico’s frescoes in the San Marco Monastery in Florence. Each drawing represents a particle of colour from one of the frescoes. The colour is represented as an enlarged pixel, framed by the four edges of the adjacent pixels.
