Artist Statement:
When a philosopher paints, he
paints painting itself. His
painting turns to reflection
on itself and the painting is
always self-representational.
Here, reflection acquires a
metaphysical vein. When a
painter sees visible things,
he does not see them
withdrawn, as from a balcony.
He sees them from the inside,
because his body is part of
them. He is something visible
that sees what is visible.
Within him, it is as if the
visible were returned back on
itself. A hole is dug, a fold
without whose shadow there
would be no visual perception.
It is as if the unveiling of
things were folding, cloth, …
canvas.
When the painter paints, it is
the world that folds up and
becomes canvas. Painting is
canvas in essence. A canvas
is not the material that the
painter covers with paint. It
is the metaphysical substratum
of the painter’s gesture. It
emanates visible things when
someone visible hollows them
and looks at the crust, their
skin, on which colours turn up
as secretions. The visible
paints itself. And the
painter is nothing but the
canvas that clothes him.
