Attrape-soleil by French artist Daniel Buren experiments with glass and colored vinyl, and its ability to transmit and reflect light. Similar to the form of the stripe, a signature element in Buren’s work, this piece continues the interest in bold patterning and order within the artist’s practice, based on arrangement of color and placement within a space. This public work is a variation on the themes he has explored in several outdoor pieces, which use the movement of the sun to create colored shadows—namely La Tonnelle, presented at the Venice Biennale in 2007, or the covered walkway Passages under a colored sky (2007) in Anyang, South Korea.
