My latest work presents a world of evocative, reverberating forms, that can be interpreted on many levels. The forms that emerge are only just formed: the feeling of a feeling, an imprecise thought tinted by the colour of an emotion, not yet a content, a full sensation… These informal forms could just as well be sounds – sounds emerging from background melodies, basso continuo, beats or the darkness of silence.
I have chosen to work on small formats so as to draw the viewer in. This is an intimate experience for which one needs to approach and get absorbed. The smaller scale has also given me the freedom and time range to explore many pictorial ideas.
Some of these small paintings are part of the project CHANGE OF SIGNATURE - see Collaborations.
Life's Little Dramas
I ceaselessly contemplate the notion of Form, its birth, its death, where it is coming from and returning to, I see the ever changing chaotic mind as moving patterns, I see the little dramas of our lives as form and colour…
In the series Life's Little Dramas the forms have somewhat matured and individuated compared to the ones in the "Emergences" series. Becoming the subjects of their own life, they now go through little dramas, following the attraction/repulsion laws, meeting, merging -or not, floating, making noises and sounds, playing their own role in their own play...
Themes
This work is the continuation of the research on the Emergence series but in a larger format.
Breathing, telescopic, inflated forms get out of the dark and catch the light, limelight maybe? A choir of convexities and dark holes mysteriously emerging...
