New work, ideas and provisional solutions.
It started insidiously. I have always been fascinated by the atmosphere of peace in the cemeteries, and especially by the regrouping of gravestones that have been displaced, re-assembled and aligned against the cemetery’s fence – something I would do myself with my surfaces against the wall in my studio. The paintings refer in colour, shapes and texture to the gravestones. Placed next to each other a phenomenon of sympathy occurs which absorbs the differences or allows ruptures. They suggest the memorial of life, and I look at them as crafted surfaces emerging from the soil, as much as a platform to think and imagine my future work. Some of the work have been painted over surfaces I have made before, and therefore it is also about the death and rebirth of artworks.
