The Design

About Interpreting Discomfort Série de peintures à l'huile

« Interpreting Discomfort » est une série de peintures à l'huile qui interroge l'espace personnel et la pression sociale. Les œuvres mettent en scène des mains et des yeux dans des compositions mises en scène qui recréent des moments de malaise du quotidien. Les gestes attentionnés peuvent rapprocher les êtres, mais une attention excessive peut aussi provoquer un sentiment d'inconfort. Les tableaux associent deux techniques : la peinture indirecte, qui élabore une base en noir et blanc ensuite recouverte de glacis colorés, et la peinture directe, qui applique la couleur mélangée directement sur la surface. Réalisée à l'huile sur toile et sur panneau de bois, la série est présentée en galerie comme un point de départ au dialogue.
