ABOUT THE ARTWORK

A few months ago, when I walked into a tobacco shop, I was struck by a magazine whose cover was a very photograph of Queen Elisabeth. I didn't buy it but I remembered it a long time later, telling myself that I would like to paint large pixelated portraits in black and white again. When I painted it, I did not look for the resemblance but rather what struck me in this image, its attributes. I admit having taken pleasure in releasing my painting on this subject, I had the ambition of an imaginary official commission for the Palace. Hence the title which incorporates the particularity of the 'Palace' and my memories. A confusion between me and an exceptional royal destiny which has nothing to do except in this raw painting.

Patrice Palacio is a French visual artist whose main medium is painting. He is 47 years old and lives in the south of France. His work develops in the form of series essentially articulated around two constants: ​ - The achromy of black and white. - Fragmentation of the pictorial surface. The exclusive use of black and white is induced by a research initiated for more than 10 years on tone and luminance, the direct and the essential. The fragmentation of the surface, on the other hand, engages the viewer in a dual figuration / abstraction that quickly becomes useless to apprehend the work and therefore questions the relation to the Real and its representation. Palacio summarizes this paradox, this "permanent return and return from the detail to the whole" as the only condition for finding "the place of the gaze" which teaches about one's own perception. ​ "It is not so much my art that is contemporary as its spectators."
