Works selection

A work lasting several weeks, focusing primarily on the act of writing. Unrolling the paper on his table, the artist covered it little by little with signs traced with very fine charcoal, without meaning, but obsessed by an idea of regularity, which his living condition has made impossible.
On this framework, this temporality, paintings and gestures unfold like so many symbolic evocations or collages.
The work is arranged in various allusions to cinema, with a succession of images; to the art of storytelling, with a series of evocative sentences; to music, with variations on a defined theme; but above all, it takes up the diachronic characteristics of pictorial art, with allusions to cave painting, abstract art and symbolism. Its generous size means that it can only be viewed in sequences, and as the eye wanders freely from one evocation to another, a vertical line crosses it from top to bottom, leading to its own finitude towards a painting representing the refuge, supposed to receive us all.
It bears two generic inscriptions: “Séjourner au creuset” and “Saturer la temporalité”, which sound like an exhortation to the creative artist never to slacken off, to keep the flame of creation alive and to dedicate himself constantly to renewing his work.
This work appears as a mantra, a library in which the artist can find infinite references, and as a work that can be taken up again at any time, without ever pastiching it.
