Mouvement Conjonction

About the Gallery

Un nouveau mouvement en peinture est-il encore possible au 21e siècle ? Non nous sommes nous entendus dire lors de diverses confrontations.

Et pourtant...

Pourtant le mouvement CONJONCTION existe. Cette peinture d’avant-garde s’est élaborée en deux phases  : La figuration supra-naïve en 2005 qui applique le principe du passage la figuration.

En 2007 les concepts de ce mouvement se sont étendus et la notion de passage est devenue plus complexe. Cette deuxième phase de revendications nous a amenés à changer le nom du mouvement qui désormais s’appelle CONJONCTION.

CONJONCTION est un mouvement et non pas la démarche picturale de deux peintres qui déclineraient les mêmes concepts avec leur sensibilité et leur personnalité. C’est un mouvement dans la mesure où il ouvre de nouvelles pistes à la peinture et que cette réflexion peut s’étendre à d’autres peintres. .

The conjonction movement

Is  a new movement in painting still possible in the 21st century ?
« No » we were told on various occasions of debate.
And yet…
The CONJONCTION movement does exist ! It carries on and completes the global history of Painting : this advanced painting has been worked out in two stages : first, the « supra-naive figuration » in 2005 which applied the principle of « passage » ( given up in painting since the time of  « supports-surfaces ») to figuration.

Then, in 2007, the concepts of this movement extended and the notion of passage became more complex . This second stage in our assertions brought us to change the name of the movement, now called : « CONJONCTION ».
CONJONCTION is a MOVEMENT  and not the mere pictorial operating process of two painters stating the same concepts with their own sensibility and personality. It’s a movement in so far as it opens new ways to painting and offers its reflections to other painters ready to take part in them. Some have begun to work at it.

Who are we ?
Two artists living and working in Bordeaux.

Georges Koutsandréou  born on 7 July 1951 : he has painted since he was 17 years old.

Martina Charbonnel born on 24 October 1952 : she has painted since she was 25 years old.

Painting is our vocation. Our creation has always been founded on research and invention, that the history of painting may live and progress.


1 Conceptual Elaboration


1 The first assertions of the supra-naive figuration in 2005 were about the passage of the human-like figure over the rectangular format bringing in the third dimension without the help of perspective : three dimensions, therefore, expressed in two D.

2 The second stage, giving birth to the CONJONCTION movement in October 2007, asserts the perpendicular conjunction of the passage of the human-like figure over the  rectangular format, associated with its other passage through the format, by means of
The tunnel effect target (which is a representation of the target in two dimensions).

Thus, our painting can only be understood with respect to its spatial dimension.
