L’ARÊTE DU SILENCE : QUAND L’ARCHITECTURE DEVIENT MURMURE PAR PHILIPPE VERSPEEK

posted by verspeek

L’architecture urbaine est souvent perçue comme un tumulte de fonctions et de mouvements. Pourtant, au cœur de cette densité de béton et d’acier, réside une dimension invisible à l’œil pressé : le silence géométrique. C’est cette frontière ténue que j’explore en 2026 à travers ma nouvelle série "Deep Black", présentée au sein du projet global "L'Arête du Silence". L’Archigraphisme : Une Anatomie de l’Épure Ma démarche, que je définis sous le terme d’archigraphisme, ne vise pas à documenter le bâtiment, mais à en extraire l’essence. En isolant une courbe, une intersection ou un angle saillant, je cherche à transformer la structure massive en une partition graphique. Le sujet s'efface au profit de la ligne, et l'édifice devient une sculpture de lumière. Deep Black : La Sculpture par l’Ombre Dans la série "Deep Black", le noir n'est pas une absence de lumière, mais une matière à part entière. Le traitement Fine Art me permet de pousser les contrastes jusqu'à ce point de bascule où le ciel et la matière fusionnent dans un vide sidéral. C’est dans cet interstice — cette "arête" — que le silence s’installe. L’usage du noir et blanc radical permet de supprimer les distractions chromatiques pour ne laisser place qu’à l’émotion de la forme pure. Chaque tirage de cette série est une invitation à ralentir, à observer la tension entre l'ombre absolue et la lumière tranchante, et à trouver, dans la rigueur de l'angle droit, une forme de paix intérieure. Une Vision pour 2026 Cette série marque une étape charnière dans mon parcours. En 2026, plus que jamais, l'image doit être un refuge contre le chaos visuel. "L’Arête du Silence" se veut être ce sanctuaire minimaliste, une célébration de la beauté structurelle où l'œil peut enfin se poser et contempler l'essentiel.

MIMICRY

posted by Jana Cechova

Mimicry (acrylic on canvas) I learn the language of leaves without a voice. Light teaches me how to vanish, how to borrow the green of patience, the rust of memory, the blue of passing air. My edges loosen. What I was becomes what surrounds me. The world leans closer, unsure where it ends and where I begin. This is not disguise but devotion— a quiet pact with bark, stone, and shadow. I do not hide from the eye; I enter it. Color moves through me like breath, changing its mind, changing me. In this trembling between forms I discover wonder: to be ungraspable, and therefore free.

FANTY BUILDING: WHEN INTIMACY MEETS ARCHITECTURE

posted by Fanty Building

In the contemporary art scene, few figures manage to merge the structural weight of architecture with the delicate transparency of silk like Enrico Thanhoffer, better known by his creative brand Fanty Building. As the pioneer of the Globism movement, Thanhoffer has evolved a provocative aesthetic into a profound philosophy, now manifesting in our homes through a collection of chandeliers that challenge every traditional design boundary. The Curve of Globism: Rejecting the Right Angle At the heart of the Fanty Building universe lies a systematic rejection of rigid, cold rationalism. Globism is more than an artistic trend; it is a manifesto celebrating the curve and the sphere as the only forms capable of truly sheltering the human spirit without constriction. While his urban installations often "dress" ancient monuments to highlight their vulnerability, Thanhoffer’s interior design work seeks to illuminate the very essence of human existence. "Mutanda Buildings": The Architecture of the First Home The artist's most famous and irreverent concept, the Mutanda Building (Underwear Building), finds its domestic peak in a series of sculptural light fixtures. For Thanhoffer, underwear represents the "first architecture" a human ever wears—a protective membrane that separates our most private selves from the outside world. The Fanty Building chandeliers act as luminous portraits of this intimacy: Textural Diversity: From blue silk and black lace to ethnic macramé and vibrant fringe, each piece creates a unique atmosphere ranging from Baroque elegance to Modernist provocation. The Inner Glow: The light does not strike the object from the outside; it emanates from within the garment, transforming the fabric into a vibrant skin that casts soft, organic shadows. Humanizing the Space: These objects break the sterile silence of minimalist interiors, injecting a sense of "imperfect humanity" and warmth into the domestic sphere. A Global Alarm for Beauty As explored in his latest publication, "Mutanda Buildings" (Studio Byblos, 2025), Thanhoffer’s work serves as a "General Alarm". It is a call to rediscover care for our shared heritage, whether it is a global icon like the Colosseum or the most private corner of our bedroom. To choose a piece from Fanty Building is to embrace a vision where art is no longer a distant object to be observed, but a playful and conscious companion that illuminates our daily lives with both irony and philosophical depth.
