ART Habens
Alexy Berthelot
My production process takes place in several steps , first the choice of the texture and the color of the basic material . In this specific case the desire for a universal material , and basic to any artist such as a single sheet of paper .
I needed a simple and symbolic object , that of the white sheet , the one you look and just wonder what you are going to draw in it . Then it is the sheet itself that becomes the subject . Then comes a sensual and manual game of sculpture , crumpling , folding of the tissue paper without falling into the figurative representation , to reach a sort of organic abstraction . I later use light , air , water to stage what is present is only ephemeral structure . Crumpling and nonsculpture staged to sublimate its light . Like a cloud , there is a very brief and magical moment when matter becomes vision . Every spectator can freeze his gaze on this moment . Thanks to the photography I capture and chose my point of view which allows me then to reveal the invisible and the vision of new forms that give me emotion . Then intervention and digital processing that will allow me to subsequently accentuate and reveal all the subtlety of matter .
Finally , I reproduce on wooden board my drawing and then begin to paint with oil colours . Nice pretext to paint between transparency and color , personal technical challenge , fluidity and matter , realism and abstraction . The personal vision is reinforced by the voluntary choice of a neutral background and a suspended framing , levitation , levitation .
