THE PROTOCOL
1 – A unique format: 29x29cm
2 – One painting per day,
3 – Une seule couleur à déverser (Rouge),
4 – The obligation to name the artwork at the end of the day in a foreign language.
FOURTH CYCLE: QUARANTINE IN FRANCE
The outside world freezes during the global health crisis and strikes the isolation of the setup. The figure has hijacked the experiment. It captures the final gasps of daily urgency. Across twenty-five red-clad fragments, the previous cycle still leaves a few chromatic traces. The strict rules of the setup are infringed and traversed by history: the figure dictates the whole.
The cards now cover all the walls. The setup ends at the physical limit of the studio to make way for a new creation protocol.
