FREUD scribbled but not boiled. Variations on photos by SIGMUND FREUD. Repeated attempts to identify the irreducible part of figuration and portrait, an approach to the image of the other, of our fellow man, of what it communicates to us, of what it changes in us. Because despite all the talk about figuration and the death of figurative painting, considered too romantic vision by contemporary art exegetes, all these ancient and modern faces continue to touch us. Isn't there the continuity of a mysterious, irreducible alchemy, which has inhabited all representations of life since the dawn of time? Isn't that the essence of painting? A radical and free approach to painting experienced as a journey to the edge of the unconscious, a training in introspection. FREUD scribbled but not boiled. Variations on photos of SIGMUND FREUD.

Вариации фотографий ЗИГМУНДА ФРЕЙДА, которые я использую как свободный джазовый музыкант, моугунудевыкант, моузундмевитек свободный джазовый музыкант, моугунудевиткать Неоднократные попытки идентифицировать несводимую часть фигурации и портрета, подход к образу другого, нашего ближнего, того, что он нам сообщает, что он меняет в нас. Потому что, несмотря на все разговоры о фигуративности и смерти фигуративной живописи, которые экзегеты современного искусства считают слишком романтичным видением, все эти древние и современные лица продолжают нас трогать. Разве нет непрерывности таинственной, несводимой алхимии, которая с незапамятных времен насизиндиродисии Разве не в этом суть живописи? Радикальный и свободный подход к живописи - это путешествие к краю бессознательного, трениримованка сала.

Patrick Santus is a contemporary French artist renowned for his captivating exploration of the psychic world through the medium of expressionistic paintings. His oeuvre is enriched by the profound influences of luminaries such as Sigmund Freud, Antonin Artaud, and Paul Rebeyrolle, who have left an indelible mark on his artistic journey.

In his artistic narrative, the concept of escape assumes a central role. He delves into the fringes of emptiness, where human perception of this void becomes a profound "Miserable Miracle." It is in this realm that individuals, besieged by the haunting specter of mortality, often shroud themselves in the semblance of the material world, obscuring their gaze in a desperate attempt to evade the Gorgons and Medusas of existential dread. Patrick's work boldly embraces the intersections of art, medicine, and neo-religious thought, offering fresh perspectives on how these realms can be harnessed as tools for transcending our deepest fears.

Yet, paradoxically, it is within this void that the artist seeks to facilitate a transformative journey towards a deeper understanding of reality. He aspires to achieve this through an intentional immersion in the enigmatic process of painting without foreknowledge or visual clarity. It is within this creative act, where the artist paints without knowing or seeing, that Patrick Santus hopes to transcend the limitations of self and embark on a profound exploration of the human psyche.

Here, he endeavors to evoke a sense of "a true man without a situation," one who traverses the boundaries of sensory perception without restraint. Through his evocative paintings and drawings, Patrick strives to capture the essence of this ethereal journey, inviting viewers to contemplate the uncharted depths of human consciousness. His art serves as a conduit for delving into the very essence of existence, allowing us to peer beyond the confines of our known reality and into the mystique of the human soul.

In Patrick Santus's masterful hands, the canvas becomes a portal to the intricate tapestry of the mind, an invitation to join him on a voyage through the intricate labyrinth of our innermost thoughts and emotions. His expressionistic works invite us to confront the paradoxical nature of human existence, where the void is simultaneously a vessel of dread and a gateway to enlightenment.
