Jeux de Vagues is the name of a painting by Dan Hays. Like much of Hays’s recent work, this painting is a pixel-by-pixel translation of a low-resolution photo onto oil on canvas. Here, orderly sequences of blue, red, and green microscopic dots depict the elegant and seemingly regular wave patterns of the Eastbourn’s sea (the same sea that Debussy once anecdotally described as a polite and orderly procession of waves). 

Like the homonymous painting, this piece is a collection of seemingly identical dots, and wave patterns. It is about gradually getting a blurred image in focus and highlighting the humanity of the handmade through repetition.
