ABOUT THE ARTWORK
When I began this painting, July 2023 was shaping up to be the hottest month on record. Contemplating the variations in pink and purplish shades of the setting skies, I thought of the reciprocity of life's relationship with nature... but reality isn't reduced to I-It. What about the duality of the world for the human being in the I-Thou relationship? Indeed, what about the duality of the world for the human being in the I-Thou relationship? The individual needs the I-Thou to recognize himself. Like nature, this question of otherness is part of a vast field that includes morality, law, and the human and social sciences, in a path of reflection that stretches from philosophy to aesthetics. In the visual arts, otherness provides abundant material for studying the relationship with the other and its representations, particularly in their imaginary forms. The philosopher Emmanuel Levinas (Ethics and Infinity), in his research on relationships, asserts that the Other is a face and must be welcomed. The gaze cast at this moment creates the true encounter with this Other. In a relationship of otherness, there is a reciprocal commitment, a mutual responsibility. Having discovered the Other in his or her face, we discover that we are responsible for him or her. Delivered in a secure crate

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.
