The hardware store has inspired Mathieu Mercier since the beginning of his career. Using functional objects and keeping them functional is central to his works. The Drum and Bass series is a shelving system that supports a three dimensional chromatic composition inspired by a Piet Mondrian colour chart. The artist brings together two worlds (do-it-yourself and the modernist puristic avant-garde) with a that title refers at once to the techno genre "Drum and Bass" from the 90's.
