Si vous vous souvenez de l'œuvre "La croisée des chemins" dans la série des Travaux sur Papiers 2018, il se peut que vous trouviez des similitudes avec ce dessin réalisé sur une feuille A4, exécuté rapidement mais avec précision au stylo à bille noir pour le fond (un paysage de temple grec et un focus sur une inscription gravée sur le fronton du même bâtiment ? En tout cas on peut y lire le mot "musée" en lettres greco-latines...) et le sujet presque principal au stylo bleu et crayon, le roi du monde sylvestre, l'animal qui allie ramure de bois en guise de couronne et fierté majestueuse de l'animal sauvage... De cette couronne, comme un palimpseste, échappé une autre vision, un réseau de fils électrifiés qui s'étoile autour de l'animal totémique... Connecté au monde, en St Antoine (qui signifie "petit monde", en passant ;)) ou en hyper connexion avec le reste (le mythique pour le temple, le passé pour le mot "musée" ou avec nous regarder et auteur, puisque l'animal nous darde de son regard, de son indifférence, puissions-nous arrivé à sa cheville?.. Car finalement, ce fut à moi, BaptisteVw qu'il se rendis visible, assez nécessaire pour que je m'attable pour le réaliser sur papier ; et vous, Toi puisqu'il te tutoie ouvertement, il te fait connecter des images, des sensations, des envies quelque part en toi !
Les ressens-tu ? Écoute et sens, quelles sensations il émet en toi... Le ventre, les jambes, des fourmille dans les jambes ? Un bourdonnement derrière les yeux comme les fils qui partent de sa tête ?

Qu'elles couleurs cela installe en toi, bleu ? Rose-orange tel cette aurore a la croisée des chemins où tu as rencontré ce roi ? Ou au crépuscule tel Iguitur penché sur ces pairs ?

Quoique qu'il en soit, ce dessin réalisé en 2016,fut tout d'abord une esquisse pour une gravure, mais la technique du report d'images fut initié, cela reste une très belle esquisses, réalisée promptement comme à la sortie d'un rêve... Comme une phrase qui débute...

À quoi rêves-tu, les nuits où je ne dors pas ?

About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

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 Drawing

Drawing is a technique of visual representation on a flat support. The term "drawing" designates both the action of drawing, the resulting graphic work, and the shape of any object. It is also a representation on a surface of the shape (and possibly the light and shadow values) of an object or figure, rather than their color. There are a large number of drawing techniques: “Linear drawing” represents objects by their outlines, edges and some characteristic lines; beyond this limit, the drawing develops by representing the volume by shadows, often by means of hatching, incorporates colors, and joins, without clear transition, the painting.

France

Visual artist, born in 1978 in Lille. currently lives in Caen, France.

I situate my work between a laboratory of forms (search for volume through drawing, painting and sculpture) and a tendency towards DIY (recycling of found objects and materials, transformation of their uses, reinvestment of their signs and questions about their subjects). I approach several mediums at the same time in order to extend the creative process to other fields of research: anthropology, natural sciences, etc.
The pooling of the two works like a small world with its own energy flows.
Usually I start with a series of sketches, notes and diagrams. I also rely on my reading, on a lot of images, which I feed on with bulimia. I exhaust their meanings until there is emulsion. This may explain the dreamy but also saturated appearance of my installations. Without cultivating a pessimistic view of the world, despite everything, I question our future through figures that are close to us, towards an imaginary that I wish to be collective; it is an opening onto a composition with multiple perspectives.
My recurring themes are environmental around the domus (house, private sphere/public sphere, hospital, etc.) and the extended living, according to a spatial questioning centered on the flow of energies, on magnetism and a set of enigmatic correlations.
