Description

This abstract composition plays on a radical contrast between darkness and light. A azure blue dominates the surface. This color extends in irregular swaths. It seems to emerge from a deep black background. 
The material is worked with precision. The artist uses acrylic and mixed media on paper. The visual rendering evokes eroded rock or a nocturnal landscape. 
The textures vary. Dense areas and other more diffuse areas are observed. The black gnaws at the edges of the blue. This chromatic dialogue creates a constant visual tension. 
The gesture is assured. The superposition of layers brings a tangible depth to the support. The eye moves between the areas of shadow and the flashes of color. 
This piece dates from 2012. It testifies to a research on light and matter. The signature and the date appear discreetly in the bottom right of the composition.
