"Alice" Painting

“Behind its gallery of portraits of an anonymous family, other readings are required. Papa Pierre, Tata Denise and Jeanne rub shoulders with less obvious but essential figures in the pantheon of the colorist. From Gentaro Murakami, Japanese artist and friend, whose very “Caspar David Friedrich” posture inscribed on the edge of a Mâcon landscape with drapery referent to Christo and Jeanne Claude, via Alex Katz and David Hockney, this is the great filiation of painting which is summoned here. Drawing inspiration from his own current events, he transfigures the portraits, diverts the lines of the landscape, transforms the materiality of the elements and gives the painting a vibratory dimension through the choice of his oils. Observation of these works leads to a unique observation: that of an inhabited painting. Immersion in an organic and pictorial material on the border of abstraction, it further reveals their author's obsessions with color, materiality, touch. » Marion Payrard.
