Le roi de la jungle
- 195 x 136 cm
Not a lion. An expression of an animal, an abstract composition of shapes and colors. Minimalist, still deep, contemporary, black and white, modern, dynamic and calm.... contrast and constant change, evolution, change, devolution, change... Strictly speaking, the word abstract means to separate or withdraw something from something else. Abstract art. It is also applied to art that uses forms, such as geometric shapes or gestural marks, which have no source at all in an external visual reality. Some artists of this ‘pure’ abstraction have preferred terms such as concrete art or non-objective art, but in practice the word abstract is used across the board and the distinction between the two is not always obvious.

This is the Mediterranean. A change of perspective is refreshing, abstract can mean one thing one day, another thing the day after. It allows us to be adaptable. As we are meant to be. Abstract art uses visual language of shape, form, color and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world. Western art had been, from the Renaissance up to the middle of the 19th century, underpinned by the logic of perspective and an attempt to reproduce an illusion of visible reality. By the end of the 19th century many artists felt a need to create a new kind of art which would encompass the fundamental changes taking place in technology, science and philosophy. The sources from which individual artists drew their theoretical arguments were diverse, and reflected the social and intellectual preoccupations in all areas of Western culture at that time.
