Homage to Jan Dibbets
Dutch conceptual artist Dibbets covered a white table and two white stools with grass. However, here Elias is presenting us with a grass chair in the colours of the Rietveldstoel (Red and Blue Chair), the icon for Dutch artists’ movement De Stijl. Green was unthinkable for artists of De Stijl movement, due to its associations with nature. Elias downplayed the work of both Dibbets and Rietveld: he is an artist who chooses his own path.
