“Hallway (2009) broadens this research through a curious inversion. In order to create this panel of huge dimensions, Senise painted small watercolours which reproduce, piece by piece, the wooden parquet floor of the hallway of his house in the district of Arpoador, Rio de Janeiro. In this process the floor does not generate the painting, but rather the painting recreates the floor. The artist, by the same token, begins an investigation of his own circulation spaces: his house and his studio.”
