Boson VII (2021) 绘画 由 Lancelot Blondeel

Boson: elementary particle twelve in number

What is reality? How to explain what we do not see? – Or at least only through a particular media: senses, instrumentation or one’s mind.

Elementary particle whose existence was theoretically postulated in 1964, it was not until 2012, that the Higgs boson was formally observed at CERN (the European research organization that operates the largest particle physics laboratory in the world) using the most powerful particle accelerator ever built: the LHC (Large Hadron Collider).

In line with this destabilizing observation, how can we conceive a non-perceptible ontological fact? How distorted is our relationship to reality? How should we devise that which we cannot see?
In the world of particle physics, where mass = energy equivalence is recalled by a famous Einstein equation, this series of "Bosons" paintings explores the strange relation between energy or matter and our own subjectivity.

Created using acrylic paint, all thirteen works on display explore the world of the infinitely small. Each painting is done in a minimum of two coats, worked only with custom tools.
