Memory #477

Collection

Materia Mania by huemin

Description

What remains of works of art when they escape our gaze? There remain traces produced by their memories. A memory made up of a series of patterns which link together to form diaphanous images. In this action close to imagination, it is, once again, about making the artwork come alive. It’s about bringing past forms back to life by updating them in our present. An artwork is the precipitate of the artist's imagination. This act of projecting images which will then become matter is similar to that of memory where mental images are arranged with a view to reconstructing the past. These two movements, one turned towards the future and the other towards the past, meet in latent space. Here, artificial imagination acts as a machine to restore the memory of an aesthetic experience. It becomes a universal canvas where Bonnard, Monet and Van Gogh coexist, not as figures of the past, but as potentialities, echoes of what could have been and what could happen. In this imaginary space, color serves as a detonator for a reminiscence of artworks sometimes seen, sometimes dreamed of. Memories of an Exhibition was born from this crazy desire of a painter: that of painting this memory.
