"The incredible power of the rubber band ... we pull, we pull and ... we pull, then without warning it breaks" Fine Art Print

In these times when everything is digitized, Stéphane PONTIé, a French painter in Géométrical Abstraction, works painting as a fundamental component of representation. He continues to take advantage of the high graphical potential of this medium by using all his "traditional" mechanics "At first, I painted an assemblage of geometric and colorful shapes, and that's it. To want a field of expression clear and simple to realize and understand, and by affinity for the angular forms, I finally banished all the curves of my work." I decided to codify these geometric shapes, depending on their use. I use angular geometric figures for replacing the figurative form of the people: - One geometric shape = one person. - One line (straight or broken) = the trajectory of one life, a path of someone. This is how i created my universe by the invention of a new graphical syntax. I decided to give a thickness to the lines, because I wanted to use the graphic representation of the line, to symbolize a trajectory, a life, a path ... And the question of the thickness of the line is asked. It seemed logical then to use numbers with "this strange alphabet" of geometric shapes, to obtain a complete and coherent linguistic base ... and to solve problems of thickness of lines. Suddenly, watching my phone keypad, i immediately saw 3 numbers appear in the middle of all these numbers. The 1, 4 and 7 are only "no curves" numbers. I push the "concept of angulosity" even further, and I use these numvers to create the geometric figures themselves and the thicknesses of the lines. And finally, i push the limits of my concept even further, since i use these three numbers to compose everything. Up to the size of the frames of my paintings: Example 77 x 77 or 117 x 77.
