[PASSING THROUGH]
'There is no light without shadow'
Louis Aragon
The canvases of the [Passing Through] Series are dug, scarified, almost tortured; the characters appear damaged, bruised, and yet there they are, standing, luminous, present to the world.
The paint, applied almost carnally, in thick or very diluted layers, is deeply inscribed in the material, penetrates the linen, makes it vibrate with a life of its own. It is the unconscious of the painter which is inscribed on the fabric of the frame, an unconscious returned to the light, a part of shadow finally illuminated.
