N°08 - Cameleon c (a.k.a The variant c) Painting

In these times when everything is digitized, Stéphane PONTIé, a French painter in Géométrical Abstraction, works painting as a fundamental component of representation. He continues to take advantage of the high graphical potential of this medium by using all his "traditional" mechanics "At first, I painted an assemblage of geometric and colorful shapes, and that's it. To want a field of expression clear and simple to realize and understand, and by affinity for the angular forms, I finally banished all the curves of my work." I decided to codify these geometric shapes, depending on their use. I use angular geometric figures for replacing the figurative form of the people: - One geometric shape = one person. - One line (straight or broken) = the trajectory of one life, a path of someone. This is how i created my universe by the invention of a new graphical syntax. I decided to give a thickness to the lines, because I wanted to use the graphic representation of the line, to symbolize a trajectory, a life, a path ... And the question of the thickness of the line is asked. It seemed logical then to use numbers with "this strange alphabet" of geometric shapes, to obtain a complete and coherent linguistic base ... and to solve problems of thickness of lines. Suddenly, watching my phone keypad, i immediately saw 3 numbers appear in the middle of all these numbers. The 1, 4 and 7 are only "no curves" numbers. I push the "concept of angulosity" even further, and I use these numvers to create the geometric figures themselves and the thicknesses of the lines. And finally, i push the limits of my concept even further, since i use these three numbers to compose everything. Up to the size of the frames of my paintings: Example 77 x 77 or 117 x 77.
