About The Artwork

A bit of fun for November 2016 on the theme of household recycling, a second attempt to use cardboard packaging waste. Apart from the line in the sky, all of the shapes in this painting have been created with pieces of the edges of used cardboard, unfolded and laid flat (see the attached photo). To play a bit and have some fun, the style of the painting is borrowed from the “ligne claire” style of comic strips. And, to remain in the theme of recycling, the support is an old plywood panel, marked with multiple paint stains and which I used, a few years ago, as a support to stretch paper on it before painting. In fact, you can still see some faded stains. (signed on the back ; private collection Tunis)) Français : Amusement de novembre 2016 sur le thème du recyclage ménager, second essai d'exploitation de déchets d'emballages en carton. Hormis la ligne dans le ciel, toutes les formes dans cette peinture sont des sections de bords de cartonnages utilisés, dépliés et mis à plat (photos en annexe). Pour le jeu et le plaisir, le style de la peinture est emprunté à la BD ligne claire. Et pour rester dans le thème de la récupération, le support est un vieux panneau de contreplaqué, maculé de multiples taches de peinture, que j'utilisais, il y a quelques années, comme support pour y tendre du papier avant de le peindre. On y voit d'ailleurs encore des taches en transparence. (signé au dos ; collection privée Tunis)

- Photo: Naples, Italy, March 2019 - Born April 1947, married, 2 children, 5 grand children. - Graduated in economics, then swiss banker in private banking from 1974 to 2007. - Started drawing in travel sketchbooks (self taught) at the age of 48 in 1995, and painting much later in 2007 at the age of 60. - Former "urban sketcher", from 2020, writer of historical novels. My desire to paint comes from the interest for expressing something aesthetic or gaudy, for finding an unstable equilibrium, for experimenting with different approaches, for renewal, testing, trying. Even though I’ve done mini-series, I don’t like to stick to one repetitive process. To me, painting is a dialogue between control and letting go and abstraction is of particular interest because it allows us to to express things that would otherwise escape our senses. It’s still a large field, even though everything is supposed to have already been made.
