Monotype n°36 - Série Aspirations d'eau Part. Vbis Painting

Monotype on 300 g paper. Unique piece. The act of production means that works evolve and mutate slightly. A new intervention opens a new door to surprising possibilities and developments. I feel guided both by the work itself and by a strong intuition to pursue the avenues that present themselves to me. The thrill of doing and discovering. "Aspirations d'eau" is a series of pictorial works that has been in several parts since 2014. In this work, the artist leaves water autonomous in its own actions and aspirations. It is water, with its physical and chemical properties, that organizes the space of the format. To achieve this, the creative protocol evolves from pane to pane, with constraints imposed by the artist on the element in its aqueous phase: constraints of form and material, of objects (fabric, waterproof veil...). It's only after a few days' drying that he discovers the actions inscribed by the water on the surface of the support. In Aspirations d'eau Part. I and V, the action of water soaks the material, imprinting another revelation on the reverse. Through these traces, the artist reveals an action of collecting, like a memory of the history of water's journey. His idea is to read into them an intrinsic language of the living, in which water would be the architect and organizer of life on planet earth. For this section n°V, Laurent Valera talks about his intuition that water projects its molecular symmetry in the construction of living things, which it has carried and traversed for more than 3.5 billion years. The title of the exhibition H-O-H refers to the chemistry of water, whose formula we all know: H20.
