About The Artwork
This piece has been made in August 2019. I tried to give a feeling of lightness. The horizontal frontier between the "à-plats" is supposed to be an horizon similar to a sea landscape. Where is the title coming from ? I always liked the mystery and the poetry of the sentence "La possibilité d'une île" of Michel Houellebecq, whereas this is not my preferred novel of him. (signed on the back) *** Cette pièce a été réalisée en août 2019. J'ai essayé de donner une sensation de légèreté aux deux pièces. La frontière horizontale entre les "à-plats" est censée représenter un horizon semblable à un paysage marin. D'où vient le titre ? J'ai toujours aimé le mystère et la poésie de la phrase "La possibilité d'une île" de Michel Houellebecq, alors que ce n'est pas mon roman préféré. (signé au dos)

Switzerland
- Photo: Naples, Italy, March 2019 - Born April 1947, married, 2 children, 5 grand children. - Graduated in economics, then swiss banker in private banking from 1974 to 2007. - Started drawing in travel sketchbooks (self taught) at the age of 48 in 1995, and painting much later in 2007 at the age of 60. - Former "urban sketcher", from 2020, writer of historical novels. My desire to paint comes from the interest for expressing something aesthetic or gaudy, for finding an unstable equilibrium, for experimenting with different approaches, for renewal, testing, trying. Even though I’ve done mini-series, I don’t like to stick to one repetitive process. To me, painting is a dialogue between control and letting go and abstraction is of particular interest because it allows us to to express things that would otherwise escape our senses. It’s still a large field, even though everything is supposed to have already been made.
