Evolution from 2000 to 2016

Today I will write about the evolution of my collages. To do this, I take 2 collages of 2000, visible on www.archives.stephanus.com to compare them to my current production.

The thing that strikes me first is 

the desire to break the pictorial space as in a Cubist composition. The junctions are brutal and do not always agree with the neighboring forms.

 

 

Today I’d adjust more the junctions, eg. between  in the character of the first plane between light and dark parts,  between the two parts of his face that are not "one." Other elements, such as the brown cushion and "flesh" the triangle seem a bit out of purpose here, although I understand the idea of their presence here that is logical from a purely formal cubist point of view but which neglects the narrative logic. If I had to do it again, I would eliminate anyway the flesh triangle and make more explicit the great man with the raised arm. But I have to say that this collage works still pretty good.

 

A second example. Here, the connections are better in the face and body, but the blond hair seems to have little justification other than to be there because it belongs to the body of the woman whose head was recovered. This collage approaches the torn poster aesthetics, while showing a Cubist assembly.

 

And today?



As it can be inferred from the above, I have become more attentive to junctions which are for me the essence of collage / montage.

The collage 199/2016 hints to a Cubist aesthetic, but the connections have been "fine-tuned" to obtain a coherent overall effect, without - apparently – disassemble the  space of the image. It follows, in my opinion, greater fluidity in the picture, which brings it closer to a baroque or rococo aesthetic. It is said that mature work shows a certain calm, which is the case here, but only formally, because in terms of content, my work has hardly lost its force in 16 years I hope at least, as more formal mastery does not mean to me less force.

 

 

 

 

Aujourd’hui, je vais écrire sur l’évolution de mes collages. Pour ce faire, je prends 3 collages de l’année 2000, visibles sur www.archives.stephanus.com pour les comparer à ma production actuelle.

La chose qui me frappe en premier lieu, c’est la volonté de faire éclater l’espace pictural comme dans une composition cubiste. Les jonctions sont brutales et ne s’accordent pas toujours avec les formes voisines.

 

 

Aujourd’hui, j’ajusterais davantage les jonctions, par ex. entre le personnage du 1er plan, entre partie claire et sombre, entre les deux parties de son visage qui ne font pas « un ». D’autres éléments, comme le coussin brun et le triangle de « chair » me semblent un peu déplacés ici, même si je comprends l’idée de leur présence ici qui relève de la logique cubiste purement formelle mais qui néglige la logique narrative. Si je devais le refaire, j’éliminerais en tous cas ledit triangle et rendrais plus explicite le grand personnage au bras levé. Mais je dois dire que ce collage fonctionne malgré tout plutôt bien.

Un deuxième exemple. Ici, les jonctions se font mieux au niveau du visage et du corps, mais les cheveux blonds ne semblent guère avoir d’autre justification que d’être là parce qu’ils vont avec le corps de la femme dont la tête a été recouverte. Ce collage se rapproche de l’affiche déchirée, tout en montrant une esthétique cubiste.

 

Et aujourd’hui ? Comme on peut le déduire de ce qui précède, je suis devenu plus attentif aux jonctions qui sont pour moi l’essence du collage/montage.

 

Le collage 199/2016 relève lui aussi d’une esthétique cubiste, mais les jonctions ont été « peaufinés » afin d’obtenir un effet global cohérent, sans – apparemment - casser l’espace de l’image. Il en résulte, à mon avis, davantage de fluidité dans l’image, ce qui la rapproche d’une esthétique baroque voire rococo. On dit que l’œuvre de la maturité montre un certain apaisement, ce qui est bien le cas ici, mais seulement  sur le plan formel, car pour ce qui est du contenu, il n’a guère perdu de sa force en 16 ans, du moins je l’espère, car plus de maîtrise formelle ne signifie pour moi pas moins de force.
