STUDIO SLAG<\/span><\/h2>\n

Initially named \u00ab Solutions \u00bb, this series follows the hacking of the figures from the previous daily paintings device (Cartes). Still in search of a form of control to attempt to marry opposites, I draw my figure from the remnants of the latest construction site.<\/span>
I focus my attention on a studio detail and sample a pour of paint to reserve it in a plastic packaging. The protocol marks a rupture: the unconscious fades away in favor of a stimulus from reality. From now on, the approach relies on the sampling and observation of a unique object, deploying it no longer within a square, but horizontally: the line.<\/span>
After having \u00ab machined \u00bb fixed and identical geometric backgrounds, mirroring industrial matrices, I inject the initial shape at the center to modulate it.<\/span>
Under the effect of a vertical thrust, the first two variations slide slightly out of the original square format to reach 90 \u00d7 100 cm. The maximum oscillation occurs on the centerpiece: \u00ab La Reine \u00bb. Its larger dimensions (156 \u00d7 195 cm) were absolutely dictated by the architectural limitations and evacuation volumes of the apartment-studio.<\/span>
This plastic research aims for the amplitude of the measurement in order to determine the subject's tension: capturing the final state of the paint.<\/span><\/p>\n
