Schizophrénie, schizophrenia (1) (2017) Painting by Richard Lorimier

My registration for Artmajor dates back to 2018, acrylics on canvas (Canvas panel) have been there since 2021. I have not taken any fine arts courses. The practice of painting took place in fits and starts then gradually as well as other more or less artistic achievements, as an obvious fact, a necessity, an absolute need. My influences therefore come from the observation of what I have been given to see or glimpse during my existence without have the decision-making possibility of necessarily retaining everything. The creative product provided, for lack of time or of something better to do, will therefore not seek its origin in the assiduous or (dilletantesque) reading of artistic works, any more than it will result from a contemplative gallery mode; my (infrequency) of places of culture is certainly detrimental and I could be reproached for it but this has the advantage of at least allowing me to deliver without influence a work free from dazzlement in the face of the meticulous completion or no art that it either from a simple person or from a master in the field.

That said the (photos) are taken, stored as in a virtual library (the wild, automatic natural capacity to record is conferred on us not artificially , exists a fortiori and constitutes our memory), the imagination does the rest according to the subject to be treated with the reserve of more or less happiness in obtaining a satisfactory result. It remains to transcribe and reproduce the idea by affixing the paintings to a support.

It is at this moment that the intoxication and creative vertigo is capable of making me sometimes believe in eternity, giving me a feeling of invincibility momentary quite relative surely corresponding to the joy provided by the illusion of a success which will soon escape like the air of a compressed bellows rendering the soul by dint of too many solicitations; however, all in hiccups the machine will resume inexorably like the ups and downs lows that can be felt during the illness and its treatment. The frenzy giving way to exhaustion and its opposite.

Beyond the quality of reproduction, the placement of the elements it contains, the arrangement of colors, the painting should above all show the imagination which can be crazy, crazy, wacky or flat whatever with however almost always a dedicated message through the simple means of an increased manual movement, the aim being to provide a visual explanation on a physical support, a personal and necessarily distorted intuition, an annoyance or an enchantment or a simple contemplation or their juxtaposition or imbrication.
