"This morning is all light, I don't know in what depths of my head. And there is a presence that is not thought, at the gates of thought."
Paul Valéry (Sète, October 30, 1871 - Paris, July 20, 1945)
Letters to Jeanne Loviton alias Jean Voilier 1937-1945
I set up my studio in Sète in September 2021. I wanted to live near the sea, to feel the sun and the wind.
I set up a room in my new home for painting. I started with abstract shapes. Small, colorful formats, sometimes monochrome.
On the balcony, the sun and the ironwork created changing patterns throughout the day.
They reminded me of the photographs taken by the painter Ellsworth Kelly (1923-2015). Photographs like notes, like sketches. I always imagine that he drew inspiration from them to paint.
(…)
I like this transition from figurative to abstract. There is what I see, what I think I see, what I would like to see. The subject fades away but remains a guide, a path. My work is to try to understand.
(…)
I superimposed the shapes created by the sun with my paintings. These superpositions no longer really represent a reality but are not totally detached from it, oscillating in an in-between, where there is light and, I don't know how to say it, a little something else...
• Outdoors: choose locations where people take a walk and/or where there is a lot of foot traffic: in the centre of the town, near a school, in a public garden or along a walking trail... And if possible, on flat ground!
• Indoors: reception hall, office, waiting room, dining room, meeting room - choose the best-lit space.
CAUTION: If the space where you are displaying the exhibition is slightly damp, we recommend purchasing eight simple frames of the same size (50 x 70 cm) to protect the prints.
The papers we have chosen for printing our exhibitions meet two essential criteria, among others: beautiful colour rendering and durability.
• Exhibitions intended for outdoor display are printed on high-quality 130gsm blue-backed paper.
• For exhibitions intended for indoor display, we have chosen a 550gsm semi-rigid paper to which we attach a simple hanging system. These panels can therefore be hung on a single nail or framed if they are to be displayed in a slightly damp location.
For outdoor displays, our poster formats have been chosen to best suit “election” billboards:
• Large outdoor format (84 x 119 cm) for maximum impact. With one poster per billboard, you will need eight in total.
• Small outdoor format (63 x 93 cm) so that two posters can be placed on the same billboard... meaning you only need to install four billboards.
• Indoor exhibition (50 x 70 cm): 8 prints to hang on 5 linear metres of free wall space.
