Description

The conceptualization of this work proposes a bold fusion between Van Gogh's legacy and the potential of contemporary art through a reinterpretation in subrealist abstraction. The piece, entitled "Dream-Chasing Suit", is part of the "Xanthopsia" (yellow vision) collection, and is distinguished by the use of a mixed technique - combining physical painting and hybrid digital animation - to question the duality of existence and the incessant quest for meaning. On the one hand, the work pays homage to "Eugène Boch", thus interweaving the artistic trajectories and influences of Vincent van Gogh, particularly during a transformative moment in his career. By revisiting this fragment of Van Gogh's legacy, I operate a dialogue between past and present, staging the tension between chaos and harmony. This dialogue is materialized by the use of a moving abstraction that symbolizes life and its eternal becoming. The central "black pixel", like a point of meditation, invites the viewer to question the dichotomy between darkness and light, chaos and order, and reveals the richness of the contrasts intrinsic to existence. On the other hand, the philosophical dimension of the work unfolds through a contemplative and dreamlike allegory. The garment, here a sartorial metaphor, represents the artistic and personal journey as a perpetual quest for dreams, evoking the idea that even in dark moments, a glimmer of positivity can emerge - the starting point of transformation. The yellow color of the collection, a reference to xanthopsia, thus symbolizes an altered but optimistic vision of reality, where utopia becomes possible thanks to a constant reinvention of oneself and the world around us. The use of digital and physical techniques makes it possible to redefine the temporality of the work, by integrating notions of movement and animation that reinforce the idea of a life in perpetual evolution. This approach opens the way to a reflection on how classical art can be recontextualized to shed light on contemporary issues. It highlights the importance of technology in enriching our aesthetic experience and understanding of works of the past, while allowing for a personal and introspective interpretation. In summary, “habit de poursuite des rêves” presents itself as a hybrid and plurivocal work. It combines both the nostalgia of van Goghian classicism and the innovation of contemporary methods, while acting as a meditation on the dual nature of reality. This amalgamation of techniques, symbolism and allegories encourages the viewer to a deep immersion, both in the intimate quest for their dreams and in the infinite complexity of life, thus paying homage to the timeless capacity of art to transcend eras and cultural contexts. tribute to : Van Gogh : Eugène Boch see original at: Musée D´Orsay format / media / size / speed / editions 3840 x 2160 px / mp4 / 111 MB / 8 fps / 1/1
