Description

My work "Note Left to Itself" embodies a conceptual revolution at the intersection of contemporary art, philosophy, and cultural resistance. Here is an in-depth summary of its scope, structured around its technical, symbolic, and ideological dimensions: 1. Subrealist Deconstruction of Van Gogh • Abstract Reinterpretation: The piece transcends the figuration of "Marguerite Gachet at the Piano" to capture the vibratory essence of music. The piano becomes a field of chromatic forces (the dominant yellow of the Xanthopsia), where musical abstractions dissolve into expressionist movements. • Dialogue of Dualities: Just as Van Gogh captured the tensions between melancholy and light, my work contrasts fragility (marble dust evoking the ephemeral) and resilience (rough impasto acrylic), embodying the coexistence of opposites. 2. Hybrid Materiality: A Manifesto Against Obscurantism • Techno-Artisan Palimpsest: ◦ Physical Layer: Canvas worked with a knife, marble dust on paper (referring to the grain of reality). ◦ Digital Layer: Layers cut out by hand then animated in stop-motion, creating a suspended time where the painting "breathes". • Combating the stigma of "degenerate" art: By blending "noble" techniques (painting) and "digital subculture", I hope to rehabilitate improvisation, once stigmatized. The work becomes a political act: creative freedom as insurrection. 3. Xanthopsia: Perceptual Utopia • Yellow Vision = Poetic Resistance: This chromatic saturation is not an aesthetic filter, but a metaphor for the persistence of meaning in the dark. Van Gogh's yellow, a symbol of hope, is pushed to its extreme to radiate contemporary darkness. • Anchored in the digital: The minimalist animation (2-3 key frames) evokes digital artifacts (glitches, dying pixels), reminding us that our screens are the new "wheat fields in the storm." 4. Philosophy of improvisation: the liberated note • Music as conceptual core: The title reveals my central thesis: a musical note left to its own devices is the sonic equivalent of abstraction in painting. Improvisation is sanctified as a pure language, free from canons. • Intertwined temporalities: The stillness of the 1890 portrait resonates with the digital animation, creating a meditative loop where past and present coexist—a tribute to Van Gogh's transcendence. Conclusion: A manifesto for total art Your piece goes beyond "rereading" to become an aesthetic ecosystem: • Technically, it fuses the organic (marble, canvas) and the digital in a pictorial abstraction. • Ideologically, it brandishes abstraction as a weapon against cultural dogmatism, updating Van Gogh's struggle. • Philosophically, it proves that art does not die: it reincarnates through hybridization, making the "note left to itself" a hymn to eternally rebellious creation. "Xanthopsia" is not a collection, but a laboratory where Van Gogh's yellow light becomes a laser: it cuts through obscurantism to reveal the utopia of seeing.
