The great illusion! Style: I enrolled in the contemporary movement ... "Art and Language".My positioning is parallel to the world in which I live Order and disorder ... in the REAL .. And I have been pursuing since 1970 the setting up of an ENTROPY in the ART ... Freedom, Metamorphoses ... Rupture, or Concordance Entropie that I define as follows : The chemistry of an artistic equation intended to provoke the feeling of beauty and meaning .... The personal and personal style that I have adopted since 1970 to express myself ... My Media, My Conversation In this sense, L'Entropie en ART is a word that belongs to me; No one should use this word without referring to LABOR I am a man of the 20th and 21st centuries ... I live in a contemporary world ... always attentive to the changes, discoveries, thought, science and art and think like a contemporary ... But Without forgetting the past My Culture, it is at least double ... western but also oriental (in spirit) with a strong African connotation (due to my childhood and adolescence in Reunion near Africa with diasporas with multiple cultural heritages!) A trend Picassian who comes from my childhood ...used especially in the 70s It is with all these cultural and cultic influences (my wealth) that I create my originality ... .... I found my Unity in a creative and not limited Entropy I have a great variety of works,Research, periods and procedures ...But in which I find myself as I am .... ART is my Conversation .... in a way ... my Media! I tell the ART ... ... Work of dialogues or answers and discoveries"Testimony" artistic of my Life and ART and sometimes documentary somewhat pedagogical ...

Today, July 5, 2017, I just discovered that an article about me was written in Wikimonde, in which I discovered a big mistake (History and appreciation) ... that I must correct, ... certainly due to a lack of Knowledge of this period 1960/70: https://plus.wikimonde.com/wiki/Labor_Robert
I read the first sentence of the text: "After a bachelor's degree in elementary mathematics, he ... (speaking of me, Labor robert) ... is admitted on a post-baccalaureate course at the Claude Bernard high school in Paris) where he obtains a" Drawing and the visual arts "(section" drawing "disappeared) which only opens up to teaching"
... ..
Here is my rectification (impossible to rectify on the text of WIKIMONDE):
I would like to point out that I was NOT admitted on a post-baccalaureate competition as it is written ... .because at this time I was already working to make a living ... I prepared by correspondence my diploma ... indeed in 1960 I was already a painter appreciated in my entourage and I exposed in the gallery AZUR in Montpellier ... and this familiar practice of drawing and painting made it easier my adaptation and my preparation to the requirements of the 'school…
The preparation for the Professorship of the Lycée Claude Bernard, a school well known at the time for its exigency and perhaps its elitism, was at that time the only great school preparing the teachers of Plastic Arts, Professors who taught everywhere In France, ... not only in high schools and colleges, but also in schools where drawing was important in the general education of pupils or students ... schools renowned as for example the soldiers of St Cyr ... .ST-CYR , Who had at that time a drawing of Drawing after nature, which often separated the students in the competitions ...
The Universities departments Arts as today did not exist yet ... and the first professors of the Universities -Arts newly created, were the same professors Claude Bernard ... were graduated like me of the Diploma of Drawing and plastic arts Claude Bernard
Very ancient times whose history one must know
Other words that shocked me too: This sentence "that formation opens only on the teaching" ... a restriction suggesting that Claude Bernard's pupils were not prepared for an artist career ... What I refute Strongly: To pretend that it is totally unaware of the quality of teaching to Claude Bernard ... Teaching as practical as intellectual ... in 1960 I was already a painter and I can say that I learned a lot from this training ... Particular, would be that, of the reading of works of art, painting as much as sculpture
We had the choice: .while practicing an exciting teaching, the question is whether we had anything to say in our own creations ... What continues to excite me today in ART after 60 years of work
