06/07 - Les Météores - Limited Edition of 8 Print

About this piece: The storm hides among the darkness of the blue sky and one things of these scene as a nocturne, with the moon emerging and quietly taking space, floating through the sky. All other elements stand away as she rises. But is it the moon? Or some other celestial body, a sphere, we have never heard of? Is it peaceful? Stories are there to be uncovered. When I see this piece, I now think of the film Melancholia by Lars Von Trier, although this was created a few years before. About this Collection. Les Météores: According to etymological dictionaries, the word “meteor” comes from Medieval Latin and it refers to “the celestial phenomena, things in heaven above”. Therefore, it includes all meteorological elements from wind, snow, rain, fog… to aurora, lightning, thunders. Then, beyond the atmosphere, shooting stars and meteorites arrive: alien matter becoming a meteor until it reaches the ground. For this series, I observed all these heavenly bodies and, through colour, lines and compositions, interpreted what I sensed, translating it over paper. Les Météores series is a reflection around the contrasts and transits between the tangible and intangible, light and darkness, sound and silence, movement and stillness. An exploration of the many reveries we often enjoy while looking at the sky and wondering about all its mystery. Les Météores is a series/collection of 7 pieces that comes two years later than From the river bank series. Many elements are still present such as creating space through stripes and geometry, searching essentialism and pure abstraction, but the inspiration has now shifted from earth to air. In some pieces there is still a search around matter, but others focus more on ether. A particularity of the 5 first pieces in this series is that they are presented in a round format with no square support in their background. They all have a diameter of 55cm. The technique used is lithography except for number 5 and 7 that are also made from collage. All pieces in this series belong to a limited edition of 8 and made with hanhemulher paper of 300g.
