MY 300th COLLAGE OF 2009

Dear Berni,
You just have achieved your 300th collage of 2009 and I congratulate you. Your are very prolific, indeed! Dou you remember your anxiety when after a series of paintings you felt empty, you imagined yourself hollow and were afraid of another journey through the desert of inspiration?
The easy solution: copying yourself didn’t come into your consideration. Even if some themes reappear again and again in your collages – they do it in different forms. So you had to find your resources elsewhere, outside you to feed your imagination.
Do you remember how fast you made your collages? You speeded so much that you felt the need for justifying the improvisational character of your collages. Now I see that you take more time for details, nick picking in order to make small paintings in A4. It is true that you were a teacher before and your free time was limited, whereas now you are free to work whenever it pleases you.
So you could establish another rhythm – you were surely dreaming of since ever, but were you capable of keeping it on? You had to do some work on yourself before reaching this point. Making collages has helped you, but the main reason is elsewhere. It is the reflection on yourself, on what you are doing that helped you to find your working style and your place in the art world. You came to accept your place as an outsider, a totally free artist who is not after fame or money. In the past, this choice could seem to you like a malediction, but now it permits you to make your collages without afterthoughts of any order. You feel light. Creation is so demanding that you have to be totally open to it. And your blog helps you to have a critical look at your works and to continue your route.
Happy 300th collage!

Cher Berni,
Voici que tu as fait le 300e collage de l'année 2009 et je t'en félicite. Tu es vraiment très prolifique! Te rappelles-tu tes angoisses quand, ayant achevé une série de tableaux, tu t'imaginais vidé, que tu avais tout donné et que tu appréhendais une supposée traversée du désert?
La solution de la réplique de soi, de l'auto-copie ne t'a jamais inspiré, même si certains thèmes reviennent inlassablement dans tes collages. Tu as dû trouver des ressources ailleurs, hors de toi, pour alimenter ton imaginaire.
Te rappelles-tu la vitesse à laquelle tu faisais tes collages? Tu étais tellement rapide qu'après coup, tu as voulu justifier le côté brut et improvisé de tes images. Il me semble que maintenant, tu regardes davantage les menus détails, que tu cherches à les soigner davantage, faisant des sortes de petits tableaux en A4. Il est vrai que tu travaillais comme prof et que ton temps de création t'était compté. Maintenant, tu peux t'y consacrer journellement et fignoler tes images.
C'est donc un autre rythme de création que tu as pu établir - sans doute en avais-tu rêvé depuis toujours, mais en étais-tu capable alors? C'est tout un travail intérieur que tu as dû accomplir pour y arriver, le collage t'y a aidé, mais ce n'est pas la partie la plus importante de ce processus, il me semble. C'est la réflexion sur toi, sur ce que tu fais qui t'a vraiment aidé à trouver ta manière de créer. Et cela a éclairci aussi ta manière de concevoir ta place dans le monde de l'art. Tu as assumé celle de l'outsider, d'un artiste totalement indépendant et libre, ne courant ni après le succès, ni après les honneurs et nullement après la fortune. Si ce choix pouvait t’apparaître autrefois comme une malédiction, il te permet maintenant de créer tes collages sans jamais te soucier de savoir s'ils seront agréés ou pas, vendus ou pas. Quelle légèreté! La création est tellement exigeante en soi qu'il vaut mieux y être totalement disponible et ne pas t’encombrer du "monde de l'art", mais dialoguer avec les artistes d'aujourd'hui comme de jadis, pour enrichir ton expérience créatrice.
Et la création de ton blog te permet également de prendre du recul, de réfléchir à ce flot d’images que tu ne cesses de produire et de partager tes pensées, poursuivant ainsi ton œuvre artistique.

Bon 300e collage, Berni.
