Tribute to Cruz-Diez at the "Espace Meyer Zafra"

If you appreciate the kinetic art, and more still if you ignore it, even if you do not understand it, I advise you a very beautiful expo devoted to the Venezualian painter Carlos Cruz-Diez.

With few but remarkable works, not necessarily of large sizes, we enter in the very particular universe of this Master of the kinetic abstraction. Works worthy of a museum.

It is the spectator, while moving in front of the work, who makes the mixture of the colors at every moment to discover a new vision of the object.

Salon d'Automne deferred

As opposed to what I had announced in my blog, the "Salon d'Automne" will not take place this year in the Garden of Tuileries. It is deferred to December, in a place which was not specified yet...

The artists, who were delighted to be able to present their work in this place of the center of Paris, are of course very disappointed. But a career is fortunately not played on this exhibition !

New information will follow.

Inspiration

Tuesday evening, I was wandering on the Quays of the Seine on the Levallois-Perret side when I saw a building under demolition. A striking but rather rare vision in Paris: the intimate encounter of a concrete building and the cranes. Very graphical but yet very beautiful. A stripped building exposed to the inquisitive eyes of the pedestrians, offering surreal stairs with no starting point but endless possible ending points...

The next morning, I went back to take pictures. It's when I understood why I like the vision in the first place. The picture contains the tension forces I used in my own paintings, the same types of camaieu grays, and the overall feeling given by the contrast between the architecture-driven rigor and the hazard-driven poetry.
