Ces séries illustrent  aussi bien le rapport complexe que j’entretiens avec  mes productions que ma fascination pour les constructions urbaines.

Ma pratique s’est développée et a pu murir en étant cadrée par le protocole, que j’ai nommé « l’accident créatif » selon lequel je ne voulais, au démarrage de la toile, avoir aucune idée préconçue de son objet. Je faisais également taire toutes considérations esthétiques (le "beau") en différenciant ces dernières du "ce qui fonctionne".

Il s’agissait pour partie, d’une recherche abstraite autour de la matière et de la circulation de la couleur, le but étant de trouver un équilibre au « tout » 

Cela  revenait à rechercher une évidence, une forme de liberté physique et mentale lorsque l’on est confronté à un objet externe à soi et à qui l'on doit rendre des comptes.

Le paradoxe d'une telle démarche est très vite apparu….

These series illustrate both the complex relationship I maintain with my productions and my fascination with urban constructions.

My practice developed and was able to mature in being framed by the protocol, which I named "the creative accident" according to which I did not want, at the start of the web, to have any preconceived idea of its object. I also silenced all aesthetic considerations (the "beautiful") by differentiating them from "what works".

It was partly an abstract search around the matter and the circulation of color, the goal being to find a balance to "everything"

This amounted to seeking an obviousness, a form of physical and mental freedom when one is confronted with an object external to oneself and to which one is accountable.

The paradox of such an approach soon appeared

It is 1854 and two converted Men O’ War, H.M.S. Terror and H.M.S. Erebus, under the command of experienced expedition leader Sir John Franklin, enter the northern polar ice in an attempt to find a navigable passage from the Atlantic to the Pacific. They know that they will have to over-winter trapped in ice until Spring, when they expect to push through melting ice and find the legendary North West Passage.

134 Officers and men in well-equipped vessels enter the ice pack and virtually disappear. No one ever sees them again, though the local Inuit people, who have no written language, tell...
