About The Artwork

Portrait of Ponko Kanno at the Archeres de Nishiwaki on the banks of the Big Blue at the end of the summer of 1981. "New series of paintings based on unexpected proposals by Ponko, more beautiful, livelier and more open than ever, imposing his body of flesh as the only touchstone with this incredible precision which it has the secret to bring out meaning in each of its gestures. Yes, we will always have to go a little further! My brushes probably will never recover from these the most perfect forms that God has ever created and my words will not stop dreaming of the impossible to have measured the excess of this inhuman love with the insane hope of containing it by painting and writing below or below - beyond good and evil ”(Extract from my workshop journal of Monday August 24, 1981, p. 147). Amber painting on canvas mounted on panel. Varnished and ready to hang. Signature on the back. Portrait de Ponko Kanno aux Archères de Nishiwaki sur les bord du Grand Bleu à la fin de l’été 1981. "Nouvelle série de toiles à partir de propositions inattendues de Ponko, plus belle, plus vive et plus dégagée que jamais, imposant son corps de chair comme unique pierre de touche avec cette précision hallucinante dont elle a le secret pour faire surgir du sens dans chacun de ses gestes. Oui, il nous faudra aller toujours un peu plus en avant ! Mes pinceaux sans doute ne se remettront jamais de ces formes les plus parfaites que Dieu ait jamais créées et mes mots ne cesseront plus de rêver de l’impossible d'avoir mesuré la démesure de cet amour inhumain avec l'espoir insensé de le contenir par la peinture et l'écriture en deçà ou au-delà du bien et du mal”. (Extrait de mon journal d’atelier du lundi 24 août 1981, p. 147). Peinture à l’ambre sur toile marouflée sur panneau. Vernie et prête à accrocher. Signature au dos.

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.
