Grand Geste - 2023

Acrylic, oil, and ink on Arche paper - 133 cm x 38 cm.
The gestures are rapid and dazzling. To achieve this, the painter hovers above the surface, awaiting a surge, a void, an inner calm from which only fluidity, the perfection of curves, and the authenticity of momentum can emerge.
For this work, the artist had previously placed horizontal stripes to create reserves. These created ruptures, in which the artist's tools are painted in a trompe-l'oeil manner, seem at odds with the thoughtless and spontaneous impulse of the gestures.
The tools of the "painter-calligrapher-writer" are painted in these reserves.
