I painted on plywood panels. These are often falls, panels called martyrs found on pallets, for example. I choose them because they are for scrap but also because of the quality of the graphics in the knots and the wood grain. Wood is alive in any form and it is customary to say "he does what he wants". Wood has a soul and a story. I use the collage of papers or fibers of renovation, adhesives in strips of 0.3 to 1cm of width that I put in the hand. I paint with acrylic and printing ink. This gives me different drying times, different viscosities and transparencies, special colors that play on matte, satin and gloss. These colors evolve in a rather industrial register, standardized for printing or, for acrylics, the building. I create one or more reserves in the layers of paint and / or ink and this at various times of the recovery process. The result, a bit like in silver photography, does not reveal itself for me at the very end, when I remove the masking paper. These reserves and strata also establish pictorial planes, spaces that overlap, compete with each other or interact at a distance. It establishes a game of strong contrasts or semitones, of differences of values, contradicted or accompanied by dullness and shine. Therefore, one is entitled to ask what to watch and how to do it. What is this experience? Should we lose the look to find the soul, the color, the material in its thickness, the light, the space or even the time suggested by the painting? The process seems to be more deceptive.

Jean-Emmanuel Exbrayat was born in 1967 in France. He studdied at Arts schools in Valenciennes and Tourcoing in north of France. Subsequently, he specializes in the development of communication space and then engages in the decorating trades. For many years, he worked as a decorator for companies, communities and today he works mainly for film and television. Never, however, has he ceased to explore and develop his personal artistic approach. This is how visual and conceptual reseach will succeed, through various mediums. For Jean-Emmanuel Exbrayat, art is a way of reflecting. His works are subjects of open conversations about the world as it is also as it might be. "Perilous exercice if any, only art: but it is like a permanent necessity to be. Without failling into the solipsistic experience, it is to others possible insights into the state of the world. A utopia considered as potentially achievable" N. Cogez-Poisson PAINTING WITH THE LACK OF A THING How do we relate to the world? Our bonds are made of diverse injunctions and illusions. Hence we tap the nature of who we are and we keep the rest at bay, with greater or lesser success. These variable distances, these cracks between fragments of reality are what inspire me in the pursuit of my work. It is as if reality where some stuff made of surperimposed layers and if you looked through it at the world, all you retained were confused, fuzzy and uncertain glimpes of its stability. A vision as through a kaleidoscope in which nothing is airtight. Transfers - whether they be symbolic or imprinted in paint itself or in plastic spaces - betray a need for unity or cohesion. Avoiding disintegration. What comes next if an element is missing? What connections may one design between pictorial spaces? Which color, which draft shall resonate plastically or conceptually with the other elements of the painting? Which layer will be the backdrop? Which ideas, which imaginary landscapes will arise from the experience? Why at last, will a space happen to remain impervious to anything but itself? This is the work of an artist's life J.E.Exbrayat
