Opud Dei VII Print

«In this year 2019, flowers have now invaded huge paintings with their halo of light that inhabit surfaces and volumes. As if it was necessary "to enter into painting without contradiction as in dahlias", according to Matisse. Tiny or large, open or closed, entangled or separated by a void, in turn predominantly light/dark mauve, yellowed, orange, then from Opus IV onwards, suddenly striped with light, everywhere "the flower sees" in a disturbing frontal face-to-face. It sees, it even looks at you, in an unsettling cosmic flower-future. So what has happened? How to create with paint this translucent virtuality, this Second Light that enlarges the vision and sculpts the painting? » by Christine Buci-Glucksmann novembre 2019
