Black Lights and Glass Lights :
This work is about a crossing of unexpected territories in my memory. An exploration of these final essential traces. Leaving only pervasive and sensorial memories when everything is pared-down, when everything has been deleted.
Letting go. Recreating this memory by giving up traditional cues of the “figural”, shapes, shackles and boundaries.Not using color anymore, too domineering, excessively leading the beholder towards sensations of purely aesthetic colors.
This way, the frames disappear giving way to the very basics. Some name it abstraction or conceptual.It then gives birth, in these multiple signifying layers, to intimate lights, my rhythmic spaces, free and pure. Encoded scarifications of signifier black.
Serge Teneze
All of my paintings are about memory.
"The Object resounds with the traces of our own history, deposited on its cutaneous envelope. Time leaves there, as on us, indelible imprints and scars..." Serge Tenèze. Skin memory.
