Rolling yellow Painting

" The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction " Art is by nature reproducible. This observation led Walter Benjamin (German philosopher and art critic 1892-1940) to reflect on the role and the place that the means of reproduction occupy in the artistic field: the techniques of reproduction modify the reception of past works, but, above all, these new techniques impose themselves as new art forms. From this point of view, the possibility of producing open editions, here, is realy exciting! ... Look for the wolf: I’ve been exhibiting regularly since 1992. Since 2000, without meaning to be schizophrenic, I’ve been exploring a tightly woven game of identities: one wolf hiding another. I have also exhibited under other names, totemic heteronyms… This finally confusing process led me to consider my artistic work as an object of variable geometry through which I pursue a plastic and fragmentary research linked to the motivations of the gaze. What thoughts can painting still be the place of? For my part, I have always been sensitive to the fact that I cover surfaces with a coloured material; it still decorates or writes messages. My practice in the early years was nourished by dada, the game of abstractions of the 20th century (Antoni Tapies, occupying for me a predominant place). Thus without being in the expression of a refuge practice, because I do not want to exclude any support of reflection, I remain attached to a pictorial gesture in which I try to privilege by juxtaposing them incidence of chance, manufacturing process and (economy of) means implemented: painting before representing?
