ABOUT THE ARTWORK

These days as an artist I fell I have to meet in some ways easy to read "real images", representational images, newspaper photographs for instance and to try to paint them as if in themselves they had enough qualities to become a model. A little like exorcism... The painted reproduction of images printed on pulp paper with its poorness was to me the obvious choice to meet this aim. "The last blondes women". As a matter of fact the "blond" as an hair color is disapearing. I thought it would be a good idea to take that into account in a serie of paintings, portraits of young women athletic dancers from north Europe, tragics in their kinds of way. The painting has a light smooth silky finish. Polyester type canvas streched on the frame by the artist.

"Dyslexie, dysorthographie, dyscalculie..." was what i used to hear when i was a child, which drove me to a "Libre école Rudolf Steiner" where i had a very good time learning and dealing with drawing, painting, wood working, knitting...in a very genuine way. It was never called :"ART", but who cares ? The topic back then had more to do with the Cosmos, vitality, energetic fields, rythm, grows, states of minds, of evolution, self-control, harmony and balance, elements that i kept in mind as i became an artist. Later, i got a BA and a MA of art from the royal College of Arts and design London (1989) but getting "on the ball" is another story. My first commitment was with sculpture in free open spaces. I moved then to abstract painting bringing this habit of "making things" in the process of painting. Recently i got acquainted to figurative painting for its political aspect, the need to respond in a more concrete way to our troubled times.
