Rien ne sera plus jamais vraiment tout à fait pareil, Boustrophédon 16, at the Machine à Musique (Bordeaux) hosted by Christope Massé, 2017
Two similar paintings hanged on oposite wall in the small exhibition room of the Machine à Musique (Bordeaux).
The viewer not noticing at the first and then realizing he has been tricked. The viewer turns back and forth and and image is constructed in the space between the two facing canvases.
A ECRIRE
The idea came from question and the painter doubt as what comes next after achieving a painting. Will the next painting be better of worse? The fear of not succeeding, the frustration of not intenting. The painter's block. What if a painter kept painting the same 'satisfying' painting all his life? More control (repetition is a form of control Lamonte Young).

Installation: mirror indian ink, ceramic
Among the distinct pieces, sculptures and paintings produced and exhibted by the other artists listed below, I decided to make a piece exploring Bordeaux's past and the way it acquired its wealth. A mirror, with aligned bodies, compressed and brutalized in the deep holds of slave ships. At the foot of the mirror a ceramic slave spine. Broken, excavated from the non glorious past of the slave harbour of Bordeaux. How can one have the dignity of looking at himslef in this mirror with the knowledge of this violent past?
