These latest creations occupy a special and unexpected place because nothing a priori attracted me in the work of flat areas . An approach that I even associated in a purely cultural, and therefore unreflected, way with coloring and therefore with childhood and its shortcuts. And then came the idea of ​​the " Gracieuses " almost out of a taste for risk, although illustrating the daily life of heroines equipped with a hamster IQ is as agreed as misogyny among certain intellectuals or even the blonde joke.

which is the all-terrain sweet version.

In addition to this, you need to know more about it.

Les Gracieuses ended, came other projects where the subjects would expose themselves with the same pictorial radicality, the same frontality devoid of sophistication necessarily weakening in this type of discourse when geometry imposes its dictatorship. Because the subject arises here under the effect of its in propulsion. The clearly assumed immediacy of the colors and the construction devoid of gratuitous details retain this power of autonomy and claim to deliver the full meaning at first glance.

Not so surprising feature for modern art.

In addition to this, you need to know more about it.

If from a formal point of view the manufacture of these flat areas is not strictly speaking what is most exciting to achieve, the effect produced when I look at them, by the tyranny of architecture, the absence of perspective effects, the calculation of spaces to which I bring the most manic care and the search for the right balance of lighting justifies the momentary renunciation of the visual mystery that painting traditionally gives to be deciphered by the blur and the allusive in the mixture of tones. The pieces presented in this virtual gallery are clearly the negation of this. Here everything is said. Even the gradients are made using frank steps , thus creating a vibration in order to strengthen the overall dynamics. Without doubt this is the graphic whim of a spirit forged by the musical staff. But to come back to it after having followed other tracks for a while, I think I found in this dialogue of geometries an evidence perfectly in resonance with my tuning fork.

It is not the work of a painter but of a musician.
