Description
How to scrutinize everyday life and its objects. What should we remember? Their beauty? Can we always see it? And what is beauty?
First, let's sharpen our gaze to make it sharper!
Looking better allows us to see more clearly.
In order to grasp the heart of a subject and lay it bare, we must abandon precision to grasp its overall reality.
The paradox is that this requires taking a step back to better approach it.
With this step back, the object is happy with space and integrated into its environment.
With the step back that increases even more, the space becomes landscape. The depth makes it larger but also vaguer.
The landscape has always been a pretext for pictorial experiments, on color, its variations, on light and its reflections and on the construction of space. It is very precisely and quite simply what is seen.
The wasteland is a free space, or at least one that has been freed.
Links are woven... between what is close and what is far away.
