Myths and Legends

Art is History. It must mark time and memories. This can be seen in the comeback of the myths, those stories created before History. Through mythical artists, whom fates have been amplified by the collective imagination, I build my plastic reflexion. Thanks to gluing and transferring I can insert iconographic documents from their artworks and start a dialogue between those and my drawings, my engravings, my monotypes…

 

My work is about upsurge and heirdom. Upsurge because my paintings assume the apparition. Heirdom because this tendency to appear could not have been without a past: mine mixed with the history of Arts. This creates a new pictorial time, which is the combination of all those times, closed and far, individual or collective, added to one another.

 

Thanks to this plastic and semantic disposition, my work has wish for autonomy and try to succeed as  self-writing. All these mythical figures, these iconographic references try to distract the watcher and to remind him that Painting implies other things than being seen: the quest and legend of the "mythical painting" which encompass all the others.
