About this Artwork
Auville works with construction cement.
The muted tones of the work are provided by the Portland cement itself.
The bright colors Auville sometimes incorporates into his works are generally achieved with water-based spray paint applied during the drying process or eroded spray painting.
In reference to wave breakers in harbours, 56 Circles is an attempt to find in a panel the contrast between raw concrete and shining waters.
