Pierneef goes Dulux

Marijke van Velden, a student from Stellenbosch, used a colour-by-number line drawing of reproduction of a painting by JH Pierneef (Scene, 1925) and a list of Dulux paint names to create her entry. She then asked people to randomly select colours for the filling-in of the three-dimensional painting. By doing this, she explored not only the arbitrary relationship between words and colour, but by using an existing work, she destabilised the conventional notion of high-art.
