Emois ou Le Voile de la Controverse: Dissection de l'Inacceptable.

Ce MadeReady est une œuvre d'art provocatrice. L' artiste nous entraîne dans un voyage complexe et troublant à travers les méandres de la société contemporaine. Inspiré par une affiche arrachée d'une exposition de Gauguin près du métro Nation, l'artiste a été frappé par les couleurs vives mais aussi par la résonance du livre Oviri de Gauguin. Un malaise profond a alors émergé, s'imprégnant dans l'esprit de l'artiste qui s'est ensuite retrouvé face à un lien inattendu : une représentation féminine évoquant le mouvement #MeToo.

Cette connexion soudaine a été le point de départ de la ligne de travail de l'artiste. En s'appropriant et en déstructurant cette représentation féminine, l'artiste invite le spectateur à se confronter à une question dérangeante : celle de l'âge légal des relations sexuelles consenties entre un adulte et un enfant mineure. Mais cette œuvre va plus loin encore. À travers ce collage, l'artiste soulève et dénonce un discours colonialiste décomplexé, remettant en question la société sur la normalisation, au nom de l'art, de comportements déviants.

Dans une composition audacieuse, l'artiste utilise des formes, des couleurs et des textures pour captiver le spectateur et l'emmener dans un voyage tumultueux. Des tons chauds et vibrants se mêlent à des lignes brisées et des formes déconstruites, reflétant la complexité de la problématique abordée. Les métaphores visuelles et les objets collés créent une narrativité profonde, invitant le spectateur à plonger dans un récit visuel captivant.

Le MadeReady "Le Voile de la Controverse: Dissection de l'Inacceptable" évoque un monde sombre et troublant, où les limites entre l'art, la morale et la société se brouillent. Cette œuvre puissante et perturbante est une invitation à réfléchir, à remettre en question les normes établies et à susciter un dialogue sur des sujets tabous. L'artiste nous pousse à regarder au-delà des apparences, à affronter les aspects les plus sombres de notre société et à chercher des solutions pour un monde plus équitable et respectueux.

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Collages

Collage is an artistic creation technique that consists of making a plastic creation by combining elements of various kinds: more or less flat materials, such as printed oilcloth, painting or drawing, newspaper extracts with text and photos, paper paintings, documents, various objects of low relief, etc. When the creation incorporates elements in relief, one can also speak of assemblage. This also includes glued papers, which employ a variety of papers, including newspaper, and drawing techniques.

Figurative

Figurative and colorful painting having taken the liberty of including all forms of art without border of cultural genre and geographic origin, without hierarchy of values between high and subculture.

Dominique Kerkhove (DomKcollage)

France

Kerkhove Dominique, alias Dom(K) is an artist, Euro citizen, tireless walker and patient observer, he search on the walls of cities what makes my raw material: the poster. Ecological Realistic, he use what already exists to transform it. He create "Made-Ready" (or collages) from torn posters. He breathe a new destiny into an ephemeral urban creation to make a contemporary work that fits into time. Free from the straitjacket of a specific doctrine, he recognize, however, a technical proximity used by certain artists: exploitation of under posters (Dufresnes), all over (Pollock), take-off (Vostell). Made-Ready is not a style of collage but an approach that expresses itself through a plurality of pictorial forms whose central element is the paper (poster) resulting (torn) from an urban context. Despite various attempts at hierarchical classification, my work is in no way allegorical. It is concrete and materialistic. It is a narrative work of incarnation. I consciously try to give body to the sensations and perceptions, ideas and values, which constitute my artistic universe. With his Made-Ready he translate his emotions into evolving series (questionings) whose themes address a society in full industrial, moral and climatic change. Made-Ready" where he invite the spectator to react on his own certainties and evidences. A subtle game between voluntary and involuntary memory. Close to the art brut, I define my resolutely abstract positioning for a thematic yet figurative of our society."
