About The Artwork

Portrait of Otomè Efira, my 25-year-old Japanese companion, who then served as my model in alternation with Ponko Kanno, my mistress of Nishiwaki. "They are young and fresh at the height of the heyday of their youth. Otomè is 25 and Ponko is 24. Both in good health, at the top of their beauty just as exquisite in their form as in bed pleasures, but the nude is better with Ponko. Otomè's comes out of a jet, like the root of a bamboo from the thighs to the shoulders, with a princess port when the neck straightens, but it stays at she something childish, not green or dry but unfinished, restrained and that I would not dare to touch, of a delicious morbidity hiding, and which my body and my heart always quiver with pleasure. so such an upheaval?” (Extract from my workshop journal of Monday August 1st, 1983). Amber painting on canvas mounted on panel. Varnished and ready to hang. Signature on the back. journal du dimanche 22 mai 1983 "la vie avec Otomè n’est pas si mal que ça, après tout on a de quoi manger, une maison, un métier certes, elle est terriblement compliquée elle n’est pas très forte pour le sexe nos relations sont devenues tumultueuses mais ça ne nous empêchera pas de coucher ensemble quand elle le voudra bien"

Born in 1948 in Belgium, Daniel Moline de Saint-Yon is a Belgian writer and portraitist living and working in the countryside near Spa. He graduated as an philosopher from FUNDP in Namur and lived as an artist 16 years in Japan (until 1990). His work has been regularly exhibited in solo and group exhibitions in Belgium and Japan. Staying receptive to the history and the cultural interaction between Europe and Japan is one of his main concern. Moline’s creative process starts with sketches and drawing from life on the canvas. He paints mostly portraits (mainly women), spending a great deal of time with each subject, a rapport with his model being necessary to work. He tried several mediums but somehow always returns to amber as he finds it the ideal and enigmatic partner adapted to his needs of expression. This light oily substance of rare purity and beautiful transparency takes some days to dry out, but brightens tonnes and offers remarkable elasticity. Several thin layers of extra-fine paint will sustain for ever the ardour an bloom of color fields with strong visual impact. A patient process for a unique result ! Moline’s artistic career ( by Emmanuelle Dubuisson, in french) : « Peintre de figures, de portraits et de grandes compositions dans un style fortement graphique. Formation à Namur en Belgique avec Luc Perot, puis au Japon où il étudie la décoration et devient l'élève du Maître Ryû Oda. Il pratique ensuite la calligraphie avec le moine zen Tainin Yukimura dans un temple à Shobara. Lauréat en 1984 du concours du Kansaï à Kyoto, il participe à plusieurs expositions à Tokyo, Kyoto et Kobe, où il séjournera seize ans (1973-1990). Conjuguant les approches orientales et occidentales, sa démarche picturale sʼinscrit alors en de larges compositions volcaniques où trônent dʼépais personnages au graphisme vigoureux et dont lʼénergie vitale fait ressortir une violence expressive. Lʼœuvre porte aussi les traces dʼune calligraphie pratiquée chez les moines bouddhistes, qui se mêlent aux formes nues dans un foisonnement de taches de couleur, de courbes douces et dʼentrelacements surprenants. On y retrouve aussi des traits communs avec lʼœuvre du peintre japonais Shôhaku. Les sujets, liés au corps, souvent nus, évoquent accouchements, accouplements ou corps doubles, et allient, dans un mélange de tout et de néant, tendresse et cruauté. Comme si la violence de ces figures s'accompagnait toujours dʼune bienveillance retenue envers la vie.
