Stephane Pontié
1 – My themes of search.
Fascinated by the relation between the juxtaposition, the effects of repetition,
depth and the mechanics of the human social functioning,
I did not content with making forms, i invented a completely new syntax,
pulled by the confrontation between these processes.
I investigate, emphatically, at the same time the meaning potential of the human behavior
in these excesses and an art abstracts bursar, minimalist, made by lines and by simple angulars geometrical forms,
in compositions which maintain these aspects in tension.
The purpose being that these narrative threads appear and disappear,
disturbing our glance which goes through the painting to assemble these
abstracted forms (some calling back a weaving, other evoking more elaborate forms of architectural structures,
or invented forms), reading them as read a beautiful sentence forming a coherent linear message.
Controlled association or mastered spontaneity?
This work, deliberately enigmatic, uses the sure repetition and necessary of a movement,
a color, a shape and or a line to remind us subtly an already thing seen.
The social behavior and these mechanics playing an essential role in my works;
Add the more subjective notion of time by the repetition of lines,
allied to the deep effects, and introduction of compound volume formations
and "no-curves", prove and underlines importance tackled issues.
This almost hypnotic "sound track", allied to its orderly repetitive rhythms (or not),
mariants as if by magic in the movements, underlined by the violence of primary colors,
bring to light one more time, the insistent character of repeated situations.
Through every painting, I capture the glance and attract it at the bottom of these,
bringing the spectator to imagine what could arrive after the edge of the frame.
These paintings put, on stage the fact of being observed, scrutinized, followed,
by a "something" continuous, linear and deliberately vague, stood back,
to throw better towards other dimensions the obtained result.
