ABOUT THE ARTWORK

In this series, I explore the theme of still life using different technics. With tools such as squeegees, brooms or trowels, I engage physically with the wooden board laying on the ground. Adding and removing with solvent and/or chisels, the image become a negative construction emerging slowly from a chaotic beginning. In the series An Irascible Figure, I have tried to introduce a sense of space, with geometrical pattern behind the main composition, gathering the energies of the picture towards its exploded centre.

With a background in Social Sciences and Fine Art, I have developed a multi-disciplinary practice that includes video, painting, printing and photography. Between trace and image, a practice of painting: At the start of the process, I "disarm" the canvas / the board (hard surfaces for the use of squeegees, brushes, brooms and trowels) with a destructive gesture in order to start "outside" the idea of painting, where a surface doesn't need to become an image. These primary gestures are a refusal of the skills and idea of image-making embedded in painting. From this first stage, I start building the image in negative, hiding some fragments on the surface, layer after layer. Finding inspiration in random objects (encyclopaedic books, family photographs, images from the web), I introduce figures at the end to form an image. The process of painting becomes the repetition of a journey from nothingness to the intelligible, the secure constructed space.
