In Stéphane Dafflon’s work, lines are capable of running just as discreetly over two-dimensional surfaces as over walls. Thin and parallel, some of them border sheets while others shave the edges of architecture. They surround the emptiness of the composition, which is left white, highlighting a deserted space, a bit like the label panels on school exercise books.

Filling and covering are not what this artist’s work is about. He prefers clean lines, a discreet trichromatism, repetitions of the same shape—their subtle leftward overlapping tending to generate a slight visual disturbance, producing an aesthetic rendering of interstices.
