Cabinets is a series of fifteen paintings at 1:1 scale of IKEA cabinet doors, hung at kitchen counter height. The white surface of these paintings is both figurative and empty — the aesthetic of most of the spaces we inhabit, a designed absence inherited from the modernist ideology that thought architecture could change the social and moral order. In each painted chrome handle a different scenario is reflected, from the interior of Le Corbusier's La Tourette to a paper warehouse burning in the United States.

Note on handles:
A chrome handle reflects 90% of the visible spectrum, an unlooked mirror that deform the mundane reality in the most private places. What was considered as the height of technology and a divine presence to the Flemish primitives mostly reflects our crotch while cooking and brushing our teeth. It bends the field of vision to reflect a complete space in which everything is functional and stops at the perfectly white surface.
