Brisement de Cœur, Hommage à Jacques Monory, Brush Version - Limited Edition of 25 Print

‘Brisement de Cœur, Hommage à Jacques Monory, Brush Version’, Aluminum Dye Sublimation, 80 X 120 cm (32 X 48 inches), 2021. Jacques Monory was a friend and a French Pop Art painter, who expressed his concern about the daily reality of alienation and violence, through magnificent yet disturbing and intimidating works, largely applying on his palette blue color nuances. His painting 'Technicolor no. 13', which is part of my private collection, depicts a rare contrast to Monory's prevailing theme - a handsome couple enjoys a relaxing dinner in a totally calm scene, painted in fuchsia and yellow, on top of the prevailing blue. ‘Brisement de Cœur, Hommage à Jacques Monory, Brush Version’ – ‘Heartbreak, Homage to Jacques Monory, Brush Version’ - takes this pastoral scenery and, with the help of a bullet shot, makes it coexist in harmony with Monory's prevalent violence notion. As the rest of my artworks, which are about fantastic realities that cannot take place in real life, so is this one. Yet, I have tried to preserve Monory’s own style, so that my additions blend with his original as smoothly as possible, as if he himself painted it. Many of Monory’s works portray broken and smashed glass, as well as bullets, guns and rifles, which at times he himself used to shoot in order to stage the scene. Therefore, as soon as I fully understood the nature of my objective – turning Monory’s original calm scene into a violent one - it was obvious to me that I should turn the original painting to a smashed glass. Moreover, it was clear that I should use a bullet shot, convinced that Monory himself would do the same… The present brush version tries to convey the same idea using a much less sharp image, compared with my original crystal clear ‘Brisement de Cœur, Hommage à Jacques Monory’ that is shown here as well.
