Biography
Clarence offers us, through his work, a new reading of pictorial composition.
He experiments with a new practice of painting, twists the codes, reverses the stages.
He blurs the pattern, goes to look for the color buried in the canvas, once they are released by the chiseled resin.
Like an archaeologist, he attacks the tapestry in an irregular manner revealing the different layers, creating serifs, releasing the depths of color.
The imagery of the canvas then becomes illegible, but thanks to this unprecedented reading, it finds a new anchor in our time and in our domestic landscape.
This sleight of hand changes our relationship to painting and painting.
