Presentation

Patrick Hoedt was born on January 6, 1966 in Mouscron, where he has his studio. The latter is reduced to its simplest expression according to the will of the artist who, to a "ready-to-go" formula, prefers that of having the leisure, wherever he is in the world and in all circumstances, to easily obtain the tools and the material necessary for the realization of his art.

 

This mathematical simplification is also perceived in its realization itself: the artist indeed privileges an immediate alchemy between the support and the matter in order to give a maximum of spontaneity to its execution; no preparatory mixtures therefore, these take place according to the inspiration of the moment on the canvas itself where the search for balance between the tones and the forms tries to conform to the result which, quickly, is emerging.

 

The artist's wish is to stop immediately as soon as this research reaches its goal. Its spontaneity, however, prevents it from falling into repetition or redundancy: exploration is, by definition, evolutionary and must therefore severely combat anything that could confine it. Although an admirer of Alechinski, the artist does not hide the fact that he criticizes this great master like others for this tendency to limit their development to productions unanimously recognized as constituting the summit of their art.

 

Is it with the aim of eradicating any danger of seeing this freedom of which he is deeply in love suppressed, Hoedt implicitly disregards any regular line or line inspired by a concern for perfect geometry as taken by a Camus, or even a a surface that is too neat to cowardly expropriate some window open to infinity. Every track is deliberately blurred by the conscious or the subconscious of the artist, and it is precisely this subconscious, in the process of perception of the work, which works to unravel the common thread and strives to uncover the hidden powers.

 

For, despite this adventurous imprecision which gives Hoedt's work a certain depth, his paintings singularly reveal a cachet authenticating the uniqueness of his creations as a whole and, subsequently, the personality of an artist in quest for humanism; who, like a skilled diver, methodically scrutinizes the unfathomable abysses as if to reassure himself, to then better ascend, in stages, towards the light of an inaccessible star.
