Oeuvres abstraites géométriques et sources perceptives
les œuvres abstraites géométriques de DF-ABSTRACT ne sont pas des illustrations.
elles sont des extractions.
each evocatio originates from a perceptual structure. this structure may be sonic, visual, spatial or bodily, or arise from a situation, an event, a confrontation, a rhythm, a displacement, an image or a lived experience.
it is translated through a process combining artistic intuition and formal rigor.
ce qui demeure n’est pas le sujet, mais la structure : mouvement, tension, orientation, centre, isolement. la forme devient un état.
de la perception à la géométrie, la forme se détache de son origine.
The catalogue presents a selection of evocatio.
some derive from identifiable structures,
others from multiple, diffuse or silent sources.
depending on the work, the full range of possible variations is not made visible.
this selection reflects an artistic decision.
each presented evocatio constitutes a completed work.
variations
some evocatio may unfold into multiple forms.
these variations correspond to different states in the transformation of the same perceptual material into visual form.
variations are not decorative versions.,
they represent distinct perceptual states of a single structure.
these states form a perceptual hierarchy and a progression of formal intensity.
fragmenta
decomposition.
motifs emerge, repeat and fracture.
nigra
maximum tension.
accumulation, contrast, density.
lumen
emergence.
form clarifies, structure becomes legible.
structura
the state in which form is fully legible.
distillata
essence.
what remains after the elimination of the superfluous.
saturatio
designates a form that has reached its maximum charge.
any further variation would result in rupture.
these states do not constitute a hierarchy or a progression of value.
they describe regimes of tension.
families of evocatio
each evocatio belongs to a perceptual tension family.
