About The Artwork

Erotic portrait of Koo Shibasaki against the light in front of the large workshop window, bringing its light in the background. "I asked Coo to come back and pose during the Obon holidays for new portraits. Need to leave Otomè aside a little to find my first mistress and always go further with her. Don't waste any more time, tell me to put to work, to act in a very empirical way, to paint the honeyed radiance of his brown skin like a mirror carp in a stream, the youthful grace of his naked body sitting with legs open on the floor of the workshop or between curtains in the window sill, approaching this girl again much closer than words, hand, mouth, sex can do, in unprecedented harmony, in images without completion. ” (Extract from my workshop journal of Sunday August 15, 1976). Amber painting on canvas mounted on panel. Varnished and ready to hang. Signature on the back. journal du 15 août 1976 “ ...la grâce juvénile de son corps nu assis en tailleur sur le sol de l’atelier ou entre les rideaux dans l’embrasure de la fenêtre ... m'approcher à nouveau de cette fille bien plus près que ne peuvent le faire les mots, la main, la bouche, le sexe dans un entente sans précédent dans des images sans achèvement..."

Born in 1948 in Belgium, Daniel Moline de Saint-Yon is a Belgian writer and portraitist living and working in the countryside near Spa. He graduated as an philosopher from FUNDP in Namur and lived as an artist 16 years in Japan (until 1990). His work has been regularly exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in Belgium and Japan. Staying receptive to the history and the cultural interaction between Europe and Japan is one of his main concern. Moline’s creative process starts with sketches and drawing from life on the canvas. He paints mostly portraits (mainly women), spending a great deal of time with each subject, a rapport with his model being necessary to work. He tried several mediums but somehow always returns to amber as he finds it the ideal and enigmatic partner adapted to his needs of expression. This light oily substance of rare purity and beautiful transparency takes some days to dry out, but brightens tonnes and offers remarkable elasticity. Several thin layers of extra-fine paint will sustain for ever the ardour an bloom of color fields with strong visual impact. A patient process for a unique result ! Moline’s artistic career ( by Emmanuelle Dubuisson, in french) : « Peintre de figures, de portraits et de grandes compositions dans un style fortement graphique. Formation à Namur en Belgique avec Luc Perot, puis au Japon où il étudie la décoration et devient l'élève du Maître Ryû Oda. Il pratique ensuite la calligraphie avec le moine zen Tainin Yukimura dans un temple à Shobara. Lauréat en 1984 du concours du Kansaï à Kyoto, il participe à plusieurs expositions à Tokyo, Kyoto et Kobe, où il séjournera seize ans (1973-1990). Conjuguant les approches orientales et occidentales, sa démarche picturale sʼinscrit alors en de larges compositions volcaniques où trônent dʼépais personnages au graphisme vigoureux et dont lʼénergie vitale fait ressortir une violence expressive. Lʼœuvre porte aussi les traces dʼune calligraphie pratiquée chez les moines bouddhistes, qui se mêlent aux formes nues dans un foisonnement de taches de couleur, de courbes douces et dʼentrelacements surprenants. On y retrouve aussi des traits communs avec lʼœuvre du peintre japonais Shôhaku. Les sujets, liés au corps, souvent nus, évoquent accouchements, accouplements ou corps doubles, et allient, dans un mélange de tout et de néant, tendresse et cruauté. Comme si la violence de ces figures s'accompagnait toujours dʼune bienveillance retenue envers la vie.
