Piece description from the artist
‘Ha ça ira’ is the name of an 18th century French revolutionary song that describes the optimism and exuberance of the time when the monarchy was trashed and a new democratic system put in place. Some times I feel moments of revolution happening in the studio – when I am experimenting with new ideas and techniques, not yet knowing the outcome, and everything is working and falling into place.
My work explores the relationship between fluidity and control, spontaneity and structure, calmness and exuberance. My process employs liquid oil paint poured on the surface of the canvas. When the different batches of colored paint are poured and the canvas rotated back and forth, the pigments intermingle and fuse into visually striking patterns and shapes. After many years of painting , my process remains largely experimental and improvisational. My aim is to create a space in which contrasting elements are interwoven into organic and fluid compositions. My paintings are about a world in a perpetual state of transformation, an unfolding elegant chaos of energies, a moving buoyant magma of colors and forms frozen into art.
