Description
The light passes through dense foliage in golden hues. The gaze delves into a forest where autumn colors dominate. A narrow path guides the walk towards a blurred horizon.
The composition plays on the verticality of the trunks and the organized chaos of the branches. The line is precise while allowing room for a certain abstraction. The layers of yellow and green intertwine to recreate the density of the undergrowth.
The artist captures the fleeting moment of a clearing. The contrast between the areas of shadow and the luminous flashes brings relief to the scene. This technical approach transforms a natural landscape into a study of color and transparency.
The visual rendering evokes the calm of a solitary walk in nature. The treatment of details suggests the light movement of the wind in the leaves. The whole stabilizes on a warm color palette, centered on ochre and lemon tones.
Michel Coste " I am not trying to copy a certain style of painting but to propose a plastic resolution that, by modifying reality, plunges the gaze into a universe that incites the viewer to enter through a secret passage into the intimacy of the landscape."
Presentation
"Art is from nature grafted"
"... a stable and completed image cuts the wings of the imagination."
- Gaston Bachelard
It is from this type of words that Michel Coste works, trying to interpret them. For this, he captures through photography and video natural elements which are not at all exceptional at first sight but which serve as raw material to create amalgams and compositions which then take on another dimension and another meaning. In fact, he stages and choreographs nature with new conventions each time.
For him visual art does not only consist in interpreting reality as it is but in composing with it so as to create an interrogation on its deep identity, for this the arrival of the digital tool is an important advance s 'it is used wisely and with a real plastic project. In this he encourages visitors to no longer look at nature through the sole filter of banal beauty but to seek in the smallest detail a hidden interest favorable to the imagination and poetry.
The result is manifested in the form of prints on various media and film and video installations and has been the subject of more than 120 exhibitions since 1972.
