For the year-end holidays, I spent 10 days with my brother- and sister- in-law. It has been cold and / or bad weather, there was no TV and I got only my tablet with me.

 Fortunately, my desk was always there waiting for me along with a box of old magazines. I started making a collage after another, producing an unexpected harvest which forced me to order a portfolio folder to take the whole work to Geneva. So I arrived to a record of 503 collages in 2014!

Before going on vacation, I had started making collages which are closer to illustration and this continued there. I like to play with a space filled with objects in weightlessness.  I also used the spotlight technique or zooming in in order to magnify a character in the composition, which is in principle contrary to the likelihood. A recent example is this collage.



I intend to use this process in other compositions, as this greatly boosts the figurative space.  For 2015, I will continue to reserve certain collages for enlargements by scanning the pieces before gluing them. This in order to be able to exhibit some great pieces that will be real collages and not mere reproductions. I'm curious to see the results.

As one can also see, I've hijacked - because of my findings - some pictures of noble families. It gives me always a lot of fun, and inserts me in the tradition of caricature, a just and necessary fight, in my opinion. I remain faithful to my motivation when I first got into collage: stay connected with current events while seeking new formal solutions.

 

Pour les fêtes de fin d’année, j’ai passé 10 jours  chez mon beau-frère et ma belle-sœur. Il a fait froid et/ou mauvais,  il n’y avait pas de TV et je n’étais muni que de ma tablette.

Heureusement,  ma table de travail était toujours là à m’attendre de même qu’un carton de vieux magazines.  Je me suis mis à faire un collage après l’autre, produisant une récolte inattendue qui m’a obligé à commander un porte-dessin pour emmener le tout à Genève. Je suis donc arrivé au chiffre record de 503 collages en 2014 !

Déjà avant de partir, j’avais commencé à faire des collages plus proches de l’illustration et cela s’est poursuivi là-bas. J’aime bien jouer avec un espace peuplé d’objets en apesanteur. J’ai également utilisé la technique du coup de projecteur ou du zoom en grossissant un personnage dans la composition, ce qui est en principe contraire à la vraisemblance.  Un exemple récent est le collage ci-dessus.  Je compte utiliser ce procédé dans d’autres compositions, car cela dynamise fortement l’espace figuré.  Pour 2015, je vais continuer à réserver certains collages pour des agrandissements en scannant  les différents morceaux avant de les coller. Ceci pour pouvoir exposer quelques grandes pièces qui seront de vrais collages et non de simples reproductions. Je suis curieux de voir les résultats.

 

 Comme on peut le voir, j’ai détourné  - à cause de mes trouvailles - quelques photos de familles nobles. Cela me procure toujours beaucoup de plaisir, et  m’insère  dans la tradition de la caricature, un combat juste et nécessaire, à mon avis. Je reste ainsi fidèle à ma motivation première lorsque je me suis mis au collage : rester en lien avec l’actualité tout en recherchant des solutions formelles nouvelles.
