Collection: Series "24 images in the life of a landscape" 2018
Twenty-four Hours in the Life of a Landscape is a series of twenty-four paintings.
These are still images that fancifully recreate the formula of cinematic movement: 24 images per second.
It is a work on the repetition of gesture and motif: you will put your work back on the loom a hundred times .
To paint is to start again what one has already done in order to arrive at something new.
For this series, it's about living from landscape to landscape, season after season, the test of time like on a long-distance journey.
Imagining a random motif rather than painting on site, I reversed the process. It is no longer the painter who moves according to the motif and the light, as Monet did, it is the motif that moves. Its source is a landscape buried in my memory, a mental image that resurfaces today to produce a sequel, a film in the form of paintings.
With this series, I also want to place us back in what constitutes the very origin of painting, the contemplation that color and its emotional power arouse.
