▣ The coffee

A woman. A man.
A coffee.
A glance.
God who contemplates the scene.

▣ The New Brutalism

"In the spirit of Le Corbusier, of architectural brutalism. Here I wanted to impose a clear, violent, powerful reading of space. Worked with a lively line sometimes, a slow flatness at other times and integrating the raw white of the primed canvas - as for the grey of brutalist concrete - through a few large motifs of colours and powerful lines of black that cross them.
Keep the work minimal: no layering of colors, no writing, no explanations. Just a piece with a few primary colors. Sometimes dark green. But above all, leave as much space as possible to white or the plain background of the canvas.
Here we retain the heart of neo-expressionism, its nervousness, while removing its superfluity.
Here we seek raw expression, structure, violence, within a deliberate, polished, ultra-minimal organization.
A modern version of Brutalism. More direct, lighter. A kind of dopamine detox from pop art, neo-expressionism, art in general. A violent Zen garden.
