OFF TOPIC At the Edges of Reality 93a6d

Whether it's to translate as closely as possible the intimate universe or the one that surrounds us - to enrich, purify or explore the essence of a motif by representing what it does not reveal - the points of age to the languages of abstraction are multiple, persistent, and powerful: The examination of the subconscious, the restitution of unspeakable emotions, the wonder at the exuberance or romanticism of nature, the expression of a mapping of the world reduced to its strict essence, the staging of a dysfunctional reality, a macro vision or the investigation of the infinitely small…

Out of context (At the edges of reality) explores the interstitial spaces, at the tenuous borders, between a dreamlike, poetic, phantasmagorical, esoteric, Cartesian or intuitive figuration, and its metamorphosis - through sliding or tilting - into pure abstraction, whether it be lyrical, expressionist, geometric or non-objective. This selection of works expresses my unalterable fascination for this delicate, impermanent and floating balance; a back-and-forth between the motif and the elsewhere; the concrete and the imaginary; the identifiable and what escapes qualification; the subject and the Whole.
