To trace a blue line on a white canvas gives the feeling of creating something new in this world. Something to show or not. Memory of a line, of an instant. To mark the instant which never ever comes back.
One line doesn’t show that much if you don’t consider the space around but two, three, four lines will more readily express an idea, a face, a perspective, a light. Then it becomes difficult not to evolve, to become something in the eye of the beholder.
All my work is based on this research : that is how not to resemble or represent. I found it much more interesting where there is no intention, then everything is there. It is like nature, clouds, or a cornfield after harvest because all forms are already in our mind. Imagine a painting which lets you see only what you decide and nothing to do with my own wish as the painter. Then I have to be careful not to interfere and let my hand gesture without any control when I trace the line.
It is a fascinating exercice of not showing what is suppose to be shown ; of drawing what has not to be drawn, all in reverse, like anti-drawing : erasing the drawing in drawing it !
To release the line from itself by tracing a new one and a new one... Then, eventually the picture would be empty ! Empty of idea but freed from all depictions.
