About The Artwork
I choose to paint : TheTragic characters serie as a break through my abstract paintings the need to face up to reality to meet "representation".These days as an artist i fell i have to meet in some ways easy to read: "images". It is a little like exorcism...I work from a picture in the newspaper treating it as a potential "model" with its inaccuracy and poor qualities and yet enough formal presence to feed my art of painting. The subject is french football players training during the world cup 2006. The focus is on a particular player Frank Ribery. The three others are blurred on the photography because they are in motion. the four of them in spite of the fact that they are close to each others do not seem to share the same space. Yet together, they seems to be in a diferent set of time and space as if separated. What are they running to with such forcefulness attention and concentration? Then, the world will be watching them on TV. They are "Tragic characters". Is the artist not the one entitle to represent its time? The painting has a glossy varnish.

France
"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.
