Jean-Louis Capou

I didn't fall into painting when I was very young, I even came to it late. I have no
answer to the question: "Why"?
It is customary and/or proper to want to refer, whatever the subject, to persons
famous and well-proven in various specialities. Although I really appreciate the
style of a certain number of them more or less known, notably Kandinsky and well
others, I do not share this need to identify myself, to resemble, copy, imitate these famous persons.
As an artist, I must probably be one of the exceptions that are not like the others. Precisely,
"Pacômelésotres" was born out of a joke among friends but by thinking about it and taking a step back, this surname suits me quite well. I've covered more than half of my
life's journey and as far back as I can remember, I have always functioned this way, not like the
others, in the way I apprehend things, take them into account and make them happen.
Self-taught by nature, I paint as I breathe, without any ulterior motive.
Painting is for me a catalyst, I have no hold on it, I undergo it, I create. It has
caught me at the corner of a path and I didn't see it coming, but when it manifests itself, I go inside myself , I'm enveloped, everything fades, evaporates and disappears, everything is clear,all that is left is the support, the tools and the material,
I externalize my interior, it gushes out and floods the canvas... My
physical being becomes the vector, the substance that connects the whole, driven by an inner force.
This spontaneity and this letting go are in no way an obstacle to the evolution of my technique. At the beginning I used to do most of my creations in one go over several hours, even before the colours have time to freeze: today, I make them in several sessions over a period of several hours. while keeping this spontaneity,
, I take a time of observation between the different phases and my
spirit is just as explosive, it escapes and melts into the meanders of the canvas .

Abstract art, intuitive paintings, vibratory intuitions... It's all a question of sensitivity.
Each of my paintings offers different degrees of observation, hence the need to get used to its
eye or rather his mind for a multi-layered approach.
From one eye to another, from different angles or even different light atmospheres, my paintings
are as if they are alive and reveal themselves through these observations... Scenes, silhouettes, faces..,
parts of the face and many others... Curves, shadows, imprints, juxtaposition of many different
spaces that interlock and thus open you up to other dimensions ... Not always
perceptible at first glance...
In this way I leave my work free of interpretation. My painting tells a series of stories
that intertwine. It's up to everyone to make their own!
