Lay//ers by esteemed Graffuturist Autone, is an innovatively captivating Light and Conceptual Urban Art Installation, opening at the Zatoka Sztuki Gallery in Poland on 04/04/2014, in conjunction with The Gulf of Art and “Addicted to Art Series”.

Autone returns to the gallery that launched his first solo exhibition, with an enthralling multi-faceted experience; Lay//ers unequivocally transcends the dynamics of a traditional visual aesthetic, by symbiotically fusing: light, sonic, visual, and sculptural elements and arranging them critically within the space.

When questioned about the concept of Lay//ers, Autone suggested that his title embodied a visual representation of the intricately delicate folding techniques incorporated into the piece, however Autone also states, “Context is everything” which may lend credence to a considered metaphorical approach; the exhibition holistically fuses Autone’s two greatest passions: Art and Architecture, a reference which is clearly demonstrated by the Sculptural application of architectural instruments – the devices of which have been shared by three familial generations of established Architects and Urban Planners.

The schematics used to construct visual elements of the installation, come from Autone’s private collection and relate to his work as an Urban Planner, it is interesting to note that the technical drawings detail construction plans for the Gdańsk Shipyard – the historical implications and social regeneration of which, pertains multifarious connotations.

“I think about the exhibition as a whole piece. I want to build, let’s say, an environment there. Each work will be a part of an entirety […] also elements of a spatial installation that will connect everything together”

Autone’s erudite use of sonic accompaniment, resonates deeply within the ambiance of Lay//ers, this is paralleled with the designed application of Ultra Violet light, which cleverly fortifies the exhibition’s visual strength and vehemence; Autone is an artist paradoxically inspired by both a Creative and an Analytical mind – the combination of which incontrovertibly assures, an inspired exhibition of outstanding integrity.
