ABOUT THE ARTWORK
I began this work during the second wave of the Covid 19 outbreak in mid-November 2020. The temperatures are starting to get cool. This year there was almost no rain and the Loire River just a stone's throw from my studio was at its lowest. The sky was quite clear and the light was good. Also, during this new imposed confinement there was an exceptional quality of silence. At this time of year, the light begins to fade at 4pm and an hour later it is the blue hour which is the period between day and night when the sky fills almost entirely with a darker blue than the sky blue of the day. It is an uncertain hour, it is an hour between two... It is also that at the first moments of the "blue hour" that all the birds start to sing. This symphony lasts only a few minutes before life resumes its course. With the brush in my right hand and the palette in my left, when I am at work, I never try to think, only to feel; an attempt to rediscover the sensation of intimacy with oneself. Between flashes and stops, my palette is growing richer with notes of blue; there is a feeling, a particular poetry which comes to be added, evoking in turn the evanescent beginnings of the world. What is important is that the eye can embrace the composition without necessarily entering into the details and dive into the blue or almost purplish tints that appear at the blue hour when the waves of color are perpendicular to that of the sun without forgetting the oranges and the twilight reds.

Matchoro Guy
France
Statement: REALITY IS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE PAINTING. WHO: Guy Matchoro, is an autodidact artist. He lives and works in Nevers, France, where he has installed his studio since 2013. After a creative process nourished and fuelled with encounters and artistic collaborations, in particular in Kyoto, Japan, where he lived for a time, he focuses its studies towards a pictorial approach based and thought from a materiality of painting. WHAT: I began the past years a pictorial practice fully based and thought from what was strictly physical and material in painting. I have always been fascinated by the materiality of painting by its tactile side - its tactility and how this affinity should be able to finally transmit feelings and ideas which could be very very abstract. My relationship to painting is not any more in term of capture of the real-world. It is the picture in itself which is reality. What is the reality ? It's the reality of the act to paint which comes to appear there. I any more will not seek something elsewhere to nourish it or to justify it. WHERE: I placed myself by the teachings that I have learned from painters, books, museums, exhibitions, writings, but even more by traveling around the world... And the development of the practice in this line, while on the move, or working in the studio, in front of that tradition of the abstraction not like a stylistic choice but rather like a way of placing itself with respect vis-à-vis the Real. WHEN: My «job» as a painter is made up of moments. A series of moments of truth which represent actually the taking risk of the artist. The moment of truth is “of truth” when it irreversibly fixes something on which you cannot return: One moment that you cannot play again. If time is closed implacably with our incapacity to be able to play again, in the same time, it opens us to an infinite depth with freedom to produce the new one. Painting confirms what time affirms while making use as much of the daily life that moments of truth which are works of art. A time when nostalgia under the influence of memory leaves place and gives life to the merry assent of the incipient future.
