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

This series, initially called \"Solutions\", follows the previous daily painting series (Cartes<\/a>). Always seeking to control and unite opposites, I draw the figure from the remnants of the latest construction site.<\/span><\/p>\n

I focus on a small studio detail and sample a leftover liquid paint to keep it in a plastic packaging. This gesture breaks the previous protocol: the unconscious disappears, replaced by a real stimulus. From then on, I work with a single object, organizing it in series no longer in a square but horizontally, in the form of a line.<\/span><\/p>\n

After machining fixed and identical geometric backgrounds, like industrial matrices, I insert the initial shape in the center to vary it.<\/span><\/p>\n

Under the effect of a vertical push, the first two variations slightly exit the initial square format to reach 90\u202f\u00d7\u202f100\u202fcm. The largest variation concerns the centerpiece \"La Reine\". Its dimensions (156\u202f\u00d7\u202f195\u202fcm) are imposed by the architectural limits and evacuation spaces of the apartment-studio.<\/span><\/p>\n

This plastic research explores the amplitude of a measure to reveal the tension of the subject. I attempted to capture the final state of the painting.<\/span><\/p>\n
