Gaëtan de Séguin

Each canvas offers numerous characters, but they only work by their integration into the whole. Sometimes they are quickly individualized (stripes, stripes of different colors, circles, but almost never faces), but the work remains a work on the mass: "I cover my canvas with a dominant color very dense, almost shouting. Then this undercoat is completely covered, the tone becomes clear again and the tints melt into a cameo of colored grays. From there, I can start to paint by adding or subtracting material. The music that I listen to will then give rhythm to the appearance of the group. By scratching with the most diverse tools, I paint as much as with brushes. Each asperity, each scratch is a unique motif that characterizes the individual as much as it allows him to melt into a much more global and abstract dimension".
