research

DF-ABSTRACT is a structured visual research project.
each exhibited or published work results from a precise formal protocol, tested upstream.

cette recherche s’inscrit dans la tradition de l’abstraction géométrique moderne et contemporaine.

research constitutes the methodological foundation of the project:
it defines the rules, constraints, and graphic tools that make the works possible, reproducible, and coherent with one another.


principle

DF-ABSTRACT is based on a principle of structured translation:
a non-visual phenomenon (sonic, rhythmic, narrative, event-based) is converted into graphic organization.

cette conversion n’est ni illustrative, ni symbolique.
elle obéit à une grammaire formelle stable, indépendante du sujet traité.


constraints

research relies on strict, deliberately assumed constraints:<

  • vector geometry
  • absence of figuration
  • limited graphic vocabulary
  • implicit directional reading
  • clear hierarchy of tensions and ruptures
  • controlled chromatic palette

these constraints constitute the very condition of the project’s legibility.


formal continuity

DF-ABSTRACT is based on a structured graphic alphabet.

chaque élément formel, ligne, orientation, rupture, densité, intervalle possède une fonction     syntaxique précise.
cet alphabet assure la continuité entre des œuvres issues de sources perceptives très différentes.


translation protocol

every DF-ABSTRACT work follows a clear protocol:<

  1. identification of the source phenomenon
  2. extraction of its structuring parameters
  3. conversion into graphic rules
  4. tensioning within a vector composition
  5. validation of internal coherence

research ensures that this protocol remains constant, regardless of the subject.


variations and families

the families (gravitas, turbulenta, resonantia, interruptio, harmonia) are not styles, but formal regimes.

la recherche permet :

  • to identify these regimes<
  • to test their limits
  • to determine their compatibility with the overall corpus

the evocatio visible on the site emerge from these validation phases.


status

the elements presented in research are not intended for edition or sale.

they constitute:

  • protocol demonstrations
  • validation states
  • methodological fragments
  • evidence of structural coherence

research is not a showcase.
it is a guarantee of rigor.
