« Let's Dance! » est un MadeReady captivante qui plonge le spectateur dans un voyage visuel et intellectuel. Réalisée à partir de l'appropriation de l'affiche (représentant un tableau de l’artiste congolais Moke) de l'exposition Beauté Congo - 1926-2015 - présentée à la Fondation Cartier, cette pièce unique de la série "Tribute To..." incarne la fusion de différentes époques et messages.

La technique du coloriage en collage a été utilisée avec habileté pour donner vie à un couple qui danse avec une énergie contagieuse. Leur mouvement semble briser les limites de la toile et nous invite à nous joindre à leur danse effrénée. Les morceaux d'affiches collectées à Paris entre 2013 et 2015 s'entrelacent avec l'affiche principale, formant une composition visuelle unique et dynamique. Chaque fragment apporte sa propre histoire, contribuant à la complexité de l'œuvre.

Les deux personnages centraux de « Let's Dance ! » sont bien plus que de simples danseurs. Ils incarnent un sentiment d'espoir et de renouveau face aux bouleversements du monde contemporain. Leur présence est un pied de nez à la morosité ambiante et une invitation à embrasser le changement nécessaire. Pourtant, ce message d'espoir ne se résume pas à une simple danse. Dissimulés dans le lettrage du second plan, les expressions « no Racism » et « No Sexism » font écho à une dénonciation des injustices sociales et des discriminations. Elles nous rappellent que notre temps est marqué par des luttes inachevées, et que l'espoir est un appel à l'action.

Le fond de l'œuvre est un mélange intrigant d'un vieux papier peint représentant des fleurs et d'extraits de journaux datant de 1935. Cette juxtaposition crée une tension palpable entre le passé et le présent, entre l'espoir et la menace. En regardant de plus près, les mots de ces extraits se distinguent, formant un rappel constant de la vigilance nécessaire face aux risques de voir resurgir des heures sombres.

« Let's Dance ! » est bien plus qu'une simple représentation artistique. Elle est un rappel poignant de l'importance de l'espoir et de la nécessité de remettre en question les injustices du monde. Elle nous invite à réfléchir profondément sur notre époque et les défis auxquels nous sommes confrontés. Chaque coup de pinceau, chaque fragment d'affiche, chaque mot dissimulé dans les lettres est une invitation à apprécier la complexité de cette composition et à en extraire toute sa signification.

En contemplant « Let's Dance ! » , nous sommes invités à danser avec nos propres espoirs et à trouver l'harmonie cachée qui réside en chaque être humain. C'est une œuvre d'art qui nous guide vers un chemin de réflexion profonde et d'action nécessaire.

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.

Technic Collages

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."
