A Gallery is proud to present “Reminiscence” – solo exhibition of French Artist, A. Lorcery. This exhibition will showcase a series of new oil paintings of Lorcery.
A. Lorcery tried to interpret the meaning of the theme "Reminiscence" - in his paintings. It is the object itself (bamboo, banana leaves, lotus, etc.) that asks to be looked at in a particular way. Because the illusion of perspective is excluded, each drawing reveals an object through its external appearance. Its "shell" - but its colours depict its dimensions. Its colours are not an imitation of the object's natural colours; but they create identities, differences, textures, material presences; thus the object forms itself and becomes visible.
The artist does not seek a photographic representation, but transcribes, using various subjects, with different media on monochrome backgrounds (basso continuo), in multiple interpretations, the infinite variations of immanent light on a subject. By these means, the artist unequivocally give the spectators, sufficient input to form an idea which reveals itself, if not immediately, then in due time. The painting becomes self-representational.
