Notable exception in my daily work, I made an abstract painting

(for a bigger picture, click here)
that I like very much because it shows the atmosphere of my abstract paintings from the ninties

that were very gestural and dramatic, made with industrial lacquer and leaving much to chance. In doing it, I realized that making such a collage did not challenge me more than when I do a figurative collage. It is working on color and space to create a visual impact. Obviously, this work is more like a painting than a collage. Abstract vocabulary has been established for a century now and no longer shocks, we contemplate such a work, it indulges in a reverie, a meditation. In figurative painting, with the exception of cubism, artists generally avoid too brutal fractures, while I research them. What abstract collage therefore brings me is primarily the confirmation that this vein is still in me and that the composition could be deployed on a very large area, synonymous with a successful composition. But as a creative play it is more limited. It is a research of atmosphere, dynamics, and color contrasts that I might as well do with paint. And it is ultimately the search for harmony and beauty. While in collage, I am primarily looking for visual shock, inconsistencies and surprising association games that make nevertheless some sense. When writing these words I understand why I stopped making such paintings after 5 years. If this abstract collage appeared suddenly, I begin to believe that it's a bit due to the death of my half-sister on May 13, once again opening abyssal doors before me into another dimension that defies description and the artist that I am cannot imagine a space that is both turbulent and calm and in which figures are banned.

Une autre dimension
Exception remarquable dans mon travail quotidien, j’ai fait un collage abstrait qui me plaît beaucoup, car il reprend l’ambiance de mes peintures abstraites de 1995-2000 qui ont été très gestuelles et spectaculaires, avec un travail sur la laque industrielle qui laissait beaucoup de place au hasard. En le faisant, je me suis rendu compte que faire un tel collage ne me demandait pas plus d’efforts que quand je fais un collage figuratif. Il s’agit de travailler sur la couleur et l’espace, de créer un choc visuel. Evidemment, cette œuvre fait davantage penser à une peinture qu’à un collage. Le vocabulaire abstrait est établi depuis longtemps et ne choque plus, on contemple une telle œuvre, on se laisse aller à une rêverie, une méditation. Dans l’art figuratif peint, à l’exception du cubisme, on évite généralement les fractures trop brutales, alors que moi je les recherche. Ce que ce collage abstrait m’apporte donc, c’est avant tout la confirmation de cette veine-là existe toujours en moi et que la composition pourrait être déployée sur une très grande surface, synonyme d’une composition réussie. Mais comme jeu créatif, c’est plus limité. C’est une recherche d’ambiance, de dynamique, de contrastes colorés que je pourrais tout aussi bien faire avec de la peinture. C’est, in fine, la recherche de l’harmonie et de la beauté. Alors que dans le collage, je suis avant tout à la recherche de chocs visuels, de discordances et de jeux associatifs surprenants qui font sens malgré tout. C’est en écrivant ces mots que je comprends m aujourd’hui pourquoi j’ai cessé de faire de tels tableaux. Si ce collage abstrait est apparu soudainement, je me prends à croire que c’est un peu dû à la mort de ma demi-sœur le 13 mai, ouvrant encore une fois devant moi les portes abyssales d’une autre dimension qui échappe à toute description, l’artiste qui je suis ne pouvant qu’imaginer un espace à la fois turbulent et apaisé et dont les figures sont bannies.
