About The Artwork

The notion of disappearance in public space: plastically translate this part of myself, involuntary witness of these disappearances: dazzling like the one at sea or slow like the one who abandons himself on a bench. The consciousness we have of the strained thread of our life, intertwines with the broken threads of those of others. He who fades is as much by himself as by me. My eyes slip, I pass, go forward so that my conscience does not imbue too much of this other which I do not know what to do. The canvas is mixed media: oil painting and collages. In the foreground we can see an anonymous crowd composed of silhouettes sketched, static and waiting. The subject of urban loneliness is here expressed by the man who sits on a bench in the center of the canvas; It does not seem to wait for anything so much its body is curved and without contact with its environment. This feeling of abandonment is accentuated by the vanishing point formed by the black silhouettes that go off to the left. The whole painting is treated in colored gray and in transparency; The colors of the city for those who are alone (?) The horizontal lines (the crowd, the buildings) are majority; An almost central yellow cross could be a lighthouse in the night, an evocation of hope, a salute? French : Mon regard s’est arrêté sur le dispar’être : traduire plastiquement cette part de moi même, témoin involontaire de ces disparitions : fulgurante comme celle en mer ou lente comme celui qui s’abandonne sur un banc.   La conscience que nous avons du fil tendu de notre vie, s’entrelace avec les fils brisés de celles des autres. Celui qui s’efface, l’est autant par lui même que par moi. Mon regard glisse, je passe, vais de l’avant pour que ma conscience ne s’imprègne pas trop de cet autre dont je ne sais que faire. La toile est en techniques mixtes : peinture à l'huile et collages. Au premier plan l'on peut voir une foule anonyme composée de silhouettes ébauchées, statiques et en attente. Le sujet de la solitude urbaine est ici exprimée par l' homme qui est assis sur un banc au centre de la toile; Il ne semble plus rien attendre tant son corps est courbé et sans contact avec son environnement. Ce sentiment d'abandon est accentué par le point de fuite que forment les silhouettes noires qui s'éloignent en haut à gauche. L'ensemble de la peinture est traitée en gris colorés et en transparence; Les couleurs de la ville pour ceux qui sont seuls (?) Les lignes horizontales ( la foule, les bâtiments) sont majoritaires; Une croix jaune presque centrale pourrait être un phare dans la nuit, une évocation d'espoir, un salut ?
