Twisted Strings PFX 225 , 1972
Mixed Media , 40 x 40 cm
Cotton threads and latex on cotton canvas and cushion-shaped frame

Twisted Strings are interwoven cotton threads, stretched on a single color (usually white) surface. In the beginning, the artist twisted the strings by hand, in a later stadium he used a small device to rotate the distortions. As the sun passes by during the day and sheds its light on the Twisted Strings, they also move with the shadows. A similar effect is obtained when the viewer passes by the work. The shadowsare much more to be noted on the monochrome background. Shadow thus plays a crucial role in the work of Leblanc. And yet his work is delicate and sensual. despite the monochrome.
