PAINTING THE EMOTION OF A MOMENT TO SUBLIMATE... by Alain Rouschmeyer

Look, observe, experiment and imagine in order to always better perceive the things of life and day to day. The artist of an architectural universe never stops understanding and letting himself be seduced by the trajectory of the human being in certain spaces with this alternation of place and posture. The simplicity of a posture that becomes an accomplice of a space or a space that sublimates the presence of a passage. Like a love story, a peculiar attitude or a body whose meanings we sometimes ignore. In that jungle of signs, art is a tremendous revealer. Interpret, write, as to better define the possible fields between interior and exterior. It is this dimension that challenges the inside and the outside, the self and others, order and disorder, fullness and emptiness, or even image and history. They are those opposites that leave traces and determine the perception that we can have of them. The artist plays with the decoration both blurring it and sublimating it. The painting is in perpetual motion, time does not flow linearly. Cycles, comings and goings between forms and themes, seem to run through the entire work. Presence or absence to give free rein to the imagination of a story in one act or a triptych in three stages. This figurative waltz is enriched with the outline of a stolen moment, sometimes supported by a symbolic graphic design that redefines the limits of these opposites to decline a characterized obviousness. The artist frees himself from ties and opens new paths in representation. His ambivalent approach to the crossroads of reality and imagination is profoundly human. Like an exacerbated passion, the composition is an integral part of his work and becomes an accomplice in the coexistence of the subject and the support by involving it in his format. Like an unfinished lace, between classicism and timelessness, we are here invited to appropriate the living spaces in connection with our walks. Walking, walking is a suspended moment where we meet again to better lose ourselves along the paths of thought. That moment is what the painter manages to fix in his paintings.
