Voyage dans la lune (CdB) Painting

“Voyage dans la lune (CdB)” is one of those paintings that span many years. Between start and finish, these paintings lie “dormant” in the studio, waiting. At their dormant state, they cause a certain irritation, of not being “right.” They undergo periodic revisions, they are left aside again, and some of them end up in the trash heap. Others, by haphazard circumstances, come around. This is a piece started in 2013 and only finished in 2017. “CdB” in the title is the abbreviation for Cyrano de Bergerac who wrote the political satire “Voyage dans la lune.” In the series of adventures of his protagonist, an earthling, he faces the idea that the inhabitants of the Moon sees the Earth as its moon. This sort of inversion was a device he used to turn ingrained beliefs into relative notions. In this painting, the device is fore-fronted — the moon has become the ground and the landscape is floating in the sky.
