geometric abstract works and perceptual sources
DF-ABSTRACT geometric abstract works are not illustrations.
they are extractions.
elles sont des extractions.
each evocatio emerges from a perceptual structure. it may be sonic, visual, spatial, corporeal, or derived 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.
what remains is not the subject, but the structure: movement, tension, orientation, center, isolation. the form becomes a state.
from perception to geometry, the form detaches from its origin.
the catalogue presents a selection of evocatio.
some derive from identifiable structures,
others from multiple, diffuse or silent sources.
depending on the works, the full range of possible declensions is not made visible. this selection results from an artistic choice.
each presented evocatio is 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.
