oil and ink
On later - after having lived at the immensity of the ocean at Ushant - the "Horizons". A game of pure color in oil, like a jazz improvisation on a rhythmic structure in black & white. Cords more or less strained that vibrate in space and time. An attempt to continue a little crazy something beyond Mark Rothko and Nicolas de Stael? This may seem ambitious, but this is where I situates this work. The other - after getting lost in the labyrinth of the human essence - looks lost called "Uranium". A series of painted shapes to water in which the ink is revealing a figure from within. As solutions of faces that appear. Silhouettes on wet paper on edge, with just drawing. Are we still in the picture? Are we still in the landscape? It could be that these two approaches developed in parallel the limits of representation - questioning the void that surrounds us and that which constitutes us. As a bridge between the ocean and the Mediterranean, the mythological and cosmic. Gibraltar and the Pyrenees. Jean-Marc Gauthier
