Carre plastique
From (Convergence 2005) forms the basic unit of visual representation which
involves rythm in my artistic journey ,to the Transe-Formes (2006 series), I
managed to create a pictorial where the movement of these is the only element in
the process of structuring the surface.
The gesture, and the memory of a –Trajet- in space are transformed in the
material spirit of these forms themselves. Regarding color, it vehicle, of
course, a structured and spontaneous emotion at the same time a system in the
use of black.
A system that helps to shape a structure of the identity of the chromatic
expression. One way to propose a symbolic function in the evocation of the dark.
The originality of green and purple stems from black variation in the tone. For
example, my green is composed of black and yellow instead of blue and yellow. My
purple red and black rather than blue and red.
This idea of the color is the one that confirms that identity in projects
involving youth and parents. A look at our community school and its environment
is one of the last major projects that I just realized (See
photos).
In terms of a synthesis of my pictorial journey so far, there is the sake of
simplicity, I explore the use of only one of these basic forms of visual
representation : the square. The theme of my last solo, in Laoun, in February
2007, (Tools and structure) exhibited some thirty works trying to implement this
square plastic.
A process that reveals its rigor and its dynamic nature. With complete freedom,
using in my work elements of collage, which allows me to perpetuate in the work
an objet, for example, who seduced me. The goal is to make them work in a
different way from the world of everyday. Those objects gains a new life in the
rythm of the square structure.
How can overpower the human dimension and to establish the organic notion of
stability and tranquility in this new world? These are some of my concerns in
this journey towards absolute painting. The interpenetration of different
elements and small territories created by the game of this square plastic
expressed addition, in three-dimensional space. It is important to discover new
issues of this concept of square plastic. Ultimately, how it would be possible
to overcome the thought of the painting itself?
However, a first approch of this system, concerns sizes & organization of the
pictorial space in a three-dimensional project (ethno entomology, the reality of
the imaginary 2007-see photos)
allowed me a glimpse of the rich opportunities for innovation that characterizes
this new line of research. I see great opportunities in the development of three-dimensional
aspect to this as well reveal the state of being pictorial which must
necessarily mingle the two-dimensional expression.
Supports square which usually articulate large two-dimensional surfaces this
time will allow me to build a pictorial universe where they have to contend with
space in its physical address.
How do I get this square plastic in that kind of sculpto-peinture dominated by
the interests of simplification? What other lies behind the essential function
of harmonizing the composition and the use of a plethora of disparate elements:
drawings, lines, rhythms, colors, gestures and writing, solid, dégoulinures
fragments cut, ongoing studies on paper and on canvas, on grounds wallpaper.?
All these tools to express the pleasure of painting, because the idea of
painting remains predominant. However, stripped in color, despite the magnitude
of the elements and the particularity of this great adventure.
