Pastels secs sur papier

The artist is limitless.
I have visions.
I've taken up pastels again like one takes to the sea. I'm also taking up my ideas again. I don't know if it's a good idea... The world of ideas is also limitless; one can have them infinitely, like a wild horse. They pass through me relentlessly, they exhaust me because I have to keep up with them, and sometimes they're faster than my hand.
I don't like dark thoughts; I prefer bright ones. Ideologically, I wouldn't want to be a painter; I'd like to rely on the true god of the world: money. But money has no ideas, so I wander endlessly through the meanders of my artistic thoughts.

J'éprouve une fascination pour les orangs-outans. Cet homme rouge, dans ses arbres verts. Peut-être plus humains que nous...plus artiste en tout cas. Et plus générateur de spirit assurément.
" Orang-outang "
Techniques mixtes sur papier, 48 x 68 cm

Dessiner c'est la liberté totale. Je pourrai en faire des milliers. Matthieu Messager aimait le rose et vert : moi c'est le rouge et bleu. Ici j'ai associé deux dessins qui n'ont rien à voir l'un avec l'autre. A la route fin, je les décolle pour les assembler dans l'autre sens ( les deux birds externes étaient collés avant ) ce qui donne à l'oeil un effet de boucle car il va tenter de recoller l'image dans le bon sens. De plus la coupure au milieu est à peine tolérable. Composer est un exercice mental jubilatoire qui ne connait pas de lois.
" Tigre "
48 x 68 cm
Techniques mixtes sur deux feuilles de papier.
Quelques phrases de lui sorties de leur contexte :
" Il y a des livres qui parlent et des villes qui voyagent. "
" La réalité était un yo-yo, le changement la seule constante "
" Nous avions le projet de peindre les murs en bleu oeuf de rouge-gorge "
Pleins de fulgurances à chaque page, pleins de rires et d'angoisses à la fois. ( je lis Moon Palace ).
J'ai hâte de lire la correspondance de JM Coetzee et Paul Auster. Ils se sont rencontrés tardivement et s'admiraient l'un l'autre.
J'ai moi aussi envie de m'amuser dans ma peinture, de jubiler, de grouiller d'idées. Même si cette société a besoin d'artistes qui sont reconnaissables, je serai peut-être reconnaissable par ma grande soif d'expérimenter ! Nous verrons bien quand j'aurai rejoins Paul Auster !
En attendant vous pouvez acheter ce dessin ce qui nous fera plaisir à vous zé à moi.
" Patiner à Hanoï ", techniques mixtes sur papier, 24 x 34 cm
Prix : 150 Euros
At my age, I'm finally discovering the American writer Paul Auster. What I particularly appreciate is his humor, and of course, his inner poetry.
A few quotes from him, taken out of context:
"There are books that talk and cities that travel."
"Reality was a yo-yo, change the only constant."
"We had a plan to paint the walls robin's egg blue."
Full of flashes of insight on every page, full of laughter and anxieties at the same time. (I'm reading Moon Palace).
I can't wait to read the correspondence between J.M. Coetzee and Paul Auster. They met late in life and admired each other.
I, too, want to have fun with my painting, to revel in it, to be brimming with ideas. Even though this society needs recognizable artists, perhaps I'll be recognizable by my great thirst for experimentation! We'll see when I join Paul Auster!
In the meantime, you can buy this drawing, which will please both you and me.
"Skating in Hanoi," mixed media on paper, 24 x 34 cm
Price: 150 Euros
Social media brings little satisfaction to the artist. The works are distorted, miniaturized: it's soulless photogenicity. It reminds me of that gallery owner in my studio who told me, with great conviction, "Your work is really interesting but not at all photogenic (she was looking at it on her iPad), collectors aren't going to like it..." Later, I had an exhibition in my village, but nobody came. This raises the question of where to display the artwork: outside of Paris, it becomes very difficult, hardly credible. It's like Duchamp's urinal!
Sometimes I'm tempted to "adjust" the contrasts and colors of the painting to make it better for online viewing, but then I change my mind because what really matters to me is my own reality!

Watercolor on paper, 24 x 34 cm
The spider is fascinating, its way of weaving its web, but also all the imagery that goes with it. The fear it inspires is equal to the fascination it exerts. As a teenager, I listened to my idols The Cure and this magnificent song: Lullaby
" (...) And there is nothing I can do when I realize with fright
That the Spiderman is having me for dinner tonight (...)"

Voilà un sujet que j'ai déjà traité dans le passé. La fusion de la fleur et du papillon. C'est difficile de parler de ce que l'on peint quand il s'agit de "visions" comme la plupart du temps dans mon travail'
Me viennent alors à l'esprit les paroles de " Visions " de Stevie Wonder
" But what I'd like to know
Is could a place like this exist so beautiful
Or do we have to find our wings and fly away
To the vision in our mind? "
Ce que j'imagine, ce qui vit en moi est une volonté de révéler la beauté.
