Description
What remains of works of art when they escape our gaze?
There remain traces produced by their memories. These are series of patterns that link together to form diaphanous images, in other words memories. In this action close to imagination, it is a question, once again, of making the work alive. It is a question of giving life to past forms by re-actualizing them in our present.
A painting in its materiality is the precipitate of the artist's imagination. This act of projecting images is close to that of memory where mental images are arranged with a view to reconstructing the past.
These two movements, one turned towards the future and the other towards the past, meet in latent space, a place where ideas and forms can coexist in potential states before being revealed.
Memories of the Masters was born from the desire to paint this space not by representing the works themselves but rather their memories.
Here, artificial imagination does not oppose organic memory but acts as a machine to restore the memory of an aesthetic experience. It becomes a universal canvas where painters coexist, not as figures of the past, but as potentialities or echoes of what could have been and what could happen.
In this imaginary space, color serves as a detonator for a reminiscence of works seen by our contemporaries and potentially dreamed by the painters themselves.
Memories of the Masters offers a wandering in the memories of the paintings of famous painters. This series follows Memories of an Exhibition which honored the following six painters: Pierre Bonnard, Wassily Kandinsky, Gustav Klimt, Henri Matisse, Claude Monet and Vincent Van Gogh.
