Charcoal, black stone and white Highlights on paper. 83 x 98 inches. Unique pieces.
Extraits au Mont Analogue de René Daumal et au poème de Juan Bautista Arriaza, les dessins allégoriques interprètent un pèlerinage physique et mental au sein de l’univers propre à l’alpinisme. Les Bribes de sommets de l’Himalaya, parfois à peine perceptibles sont ici imaginés en clair obscur très tranchés pour en accentuer la posture imposante et onirique.
Invité à investir la galerie Exuo, ma proposition était de présenter des fusains de grands formats en qualité de sculptures. Posé directement au sol, le triptyque se veut imposant, à l’image d’une parois infranchissable. Pour accentuer la stature monumentale des œuvres, une très large proportion du tableau est recouverte intégralement de noir uniforme. Tel des colosses, les dessins érigés à la verticale, s’obstruent mutuellement et entravent la visibilité de la Galerie.
