Value is a highly relative term in art. A diamond in a piece of jewellery is perhaps intrinsically valuable, but a painting is ultimately only a collection of well-placed splashes and touches of paint. At the very bottom of the value scale is the painter’s palette – but here, like a sign on the wall, it is bestowed with the status of an artwork. It is typical of the layered metaphors in the oeuvre of Belgian artist duo Sofie Lachaert and Luc Dhanis, in particular in the a splash of colour series, which this tapestry belongs to.
