Apophtegme : Where there is love there is life (Mahatma Gandhi) Drawing

www.jmarclaloux.com Fabienne & J.-Marc LALOUX, B 1969 & 1954 Based in Burgundy, France 2017 DUO with my wife, three-dimensional artist and much more... and me, painter larger than life Our latest series "NYSTAGMUS": a face-to-face encounter between the viewer and our work. Is it a work of art? What is a work of art? Can everything be Art? What if it was the gaze that legitimised the status of a work of art? The gaze of the critic, the gallery owner, the curator, the viewer, the collector, ... We cannot bring ourselves to think that everything is only speculation, even if the air of time strongly encourages it, History is an eternal restart and we hope to arouse with "NYSTAGMUS" something other than the mink of mountains of dollars, we like to believe that in these mountains, live a mind not lobotomized and beats a heart sensitive to the aestheticism "NYSTAGMUS" was born from a serious physical and moral suffering that really changed J.-Marc's daily life, the disease making him perpetually see the same image in duplicate, a shifted vision of things that opened the reflection on this artistic series... or not. The choice is yours! At the same time, an art collector presented us with a project called "Religion, this forbidden fruit". He wished to rework the Galbes, creations of nature in pastel, natural pigments and oil, and thus highlight our artistic polymorphism and reveal the different readings of the paintings of J.-Marc LALOUX. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Travail en solo sur le thème de l'Amour, l'Amour de la Création, de la Femme et de la Nature.
