Tropismes Painting

The "Arcaeologies" series follows the photographic collection work initiated bi the "Fictions" series. The subject remains centered around memory and uts plastic manifestation. The painting that receives the photograph damaged by time itself is a transfert of old paintings, sometimes reworked. The support therefore retains its own traces, bits of images, scraps of text, ans the pictorial matter of another paintings. There is a triple correspondence, between the medium, the painting and the photography. There is also the double questioning around the relation between photography and painting, between figuration and abstraction. The photographs are selected for their visual and emotional resonance with the backgroung, they appear according to the angle from which ones places oneself, either as an added piece, or as an element which builds the pictorial space, a sort of gap, or window in the space.
