Nicholas Voeikoff-Erens’ colourful acrylic-on-newsprint wall hangings are at once visual and sculptural, borrowing from design but bypassing cliché. He uses paint to highlight the images and stories on the printed pages and block out extraneous material such as advertising, effectively altering the content of the news. The result is far from museum objects. Each two-sided piece is meant to be touched. As the viewer moves around the different images, the play of light reveals as much as is conceals.
