COMEBACK OF BLACK AND WHITE.
When the fog thickens, the last pencil put away and the video-loupe turned off, when it seems time to sit down in the living room and draw improbable races with his index finger, the artist rebels once again. “I was 20 years old and I was exhibiting my black and white paintings…”
Dreaming, rethinking, reflecting, imagining, inventing, taking up the challenge of rediscovering the extreme precision needed to continue the work interrupted 50 years earlier. After two years’ work, a sheet of black paper laid on a white sheet lit up nine perfectly cut shapes. On July 22, 2022, the public discovered what sounded like an unimaginable comeback, with 20 new works and three paintings as yesterday’s witnesses. More than just a victory, the work was relaunched and recognized.
