Christophe Domergue is a Sydney based artist whose abstract, textural works uniquely capture ‘histories’ of site-specific derelict spaces.
At the heart of his artistic process is the innovative technique he developed and aptly named "Peeling." With a deliberate degree of controlled precision, he pours a heterogeneous mixture of thick, malleable pigments in resin onto a carefully chosen urban surface and reinforces with glass. When this process hardens, he physically peels away surface layer which now also includes the underlying rich history of the original surface.
