gallery on the Rue de Seine. It includes sixteen small and medium-sized paintings. “Object-paintings” whose structure induces me to give greater importance to flat surfaces and straight lines. Diagonal lines separate the pieces into enclosed fields of colour. Painted cubes, apparently self- contained but once installed forming part of one and the same group. Painted volumes which inter-relate with each other. Their deep edges establish a sequence before our eyes whereby it appears that each painting does not entirely cease because its edge connects with that of the next. They could all form one joint piece. Straight lines separate the coloured areas of each painting into different flat surfaces. Defined by lines and edges, they provide us with a glimpse of distant horizons; abstract geometric landscapes. As the viewer moves around the exhibition space, he/she is afforded different visions of the same painting. |
