- Territory_Loneliness_serie [territoire_solitude]
- This series is about a "lack", a presence however in the absence of the “figure".
- In these times of more or less forced isolation, of more or less marked "social distancing" ... the central idea of putting the face into perspective has been very affected, to the point that it is an indistinct form, a little disturbing which became the symbol of these faces. These faces idealized as specters and whose gaping hole of absence reveals both the unfathomable mystery and the deep banality.
- Abstract art trivialized until it has lost any capacity for questioning is most often only used to trace an art history somewhat dated in museums or to decorate the walls of bourgeois salons, at best the halls of reception of luxury buildings… No longer disturbing any established order, abstract art has often become an inert consensual object.
- Unable to use the photo to "figure" and put it in perspective, I had to avoid the trap of ease of abstraction ... the pixels (23345 in each of these images), a formidable and sometimes lethal weapon here become the construction tool bearing shapes and colors. Drawn and colored the old fashioned way by hand, these pixels enhance digital art. The bourgeois and the conservatives do not like digital art either on a screen where it serves as a technological alibi as an indication of a somewhat outmoded modernity ... and which justly screened… Hand-made designed pixels when our life run the risk to be controlled by ubiquitous sensors and sophisticated algorithms might be a way to claim the absolute priority of “the human”.
- 4 digital paintings therefore for this series, plus one that shows the process ... Each in 120x85cm format, size is important here, because of the pixels which, on the contrary of »absence" are naturally invisible.
