Partant d’une photo d’un jeune homme assis sur un tabouret, habillé avec un pullover blanc, regardant plein d’espoir vers le ciel, j’ai voulu explorer ses sensations du moment.
A la base, dans sa composition aux contours nets et graphiques, ma créature était assise sur une planche blanche, comme si elle allait tomber ou sauter dans le vide existentiel.
Après Rectangular sun, je trouvais le résultat trop fataliste et je lui ai créé une dynamique qui le retiendrai en place.
Pour l’ancrer j’ai déconstruit l’arrière du personnage en une masse couleur moutarde. Une autre dynamique ascensionnelle en ondulations bleues lui donne une verticalité en mouvement.
La spirale bleue me faisait penser au serpent dans l’histoire de la chute du jardin d’Eden juste avant qu’il essaie de séduire Eve avec la pomme, le fruit défendu de l’arbre de la connaissance.
Ainsi selon cette histoire, en quittant l’idéal paradisiaque, naissait la dynamique de la conscience, l’aptitude d’interpréter la réalité, de juger et de choisir entre le bien et le mal en toute subjectivité humaine, source de négociations et de conflits.
Le figuration a évolué d’une paralysie existentielle vers une dynamique tumultueuse du désarroi humain.

Daniel Derderian, a contemporary French artist of Armenian descent, has forged a multifaceted career that spans the realms of classical dance, performance art, and visual expression. Currently residing and working between Montreuil near Paris and Ghent in Belgium, Derderian's artistic journey is rooted in a deep exploration of human identity, transition, and the intricate interplay between dream and reality.

His venture into the realm of visual art commenced in 2008, marked by a fascination with collages crafted from x-rays and clinical images, offering a stark yet objective glimpse into the inner workings of the human body.

Derderian's artistic oeuvre is characterized by an urgent and impassioned pursuit of themes that traverse the spectrum of human experience. From the turmoil of adolescence to the quest for gender identity and the contemplation of mortality, his work delves into the complexities of existence with unflinching honesty and creativity. Through a process of deconstruction and reconstruction, he breathes life into hybrid creatures that embody the dualities and contradictions inherent in the human condition.

Drawing inspiration from the world of fashion yet subverting its norms and ideals, Derderian's creations emerge as poignant reflections of societal expectations and individual desires. Each artwork is framed with meticulous care, akin to a corset, encapsulating the tension between societal conformity and personal liberation.

With a tender yet incisive touch, Derderian freezes his subjects in moments of intimate introspection, exploring the sensuality that arises from the silence of their secrets. Through his art, he seeks to forge a simple yet profound connection with viewers, inviting them to partake in a singular cry of love that resonates across boundaries of language and culture.
