“From the brush, a touch and the surfaces vibrate in unstable fragile balances, stability is present. The subject is fluid, light and undulating, also ponderous and determined. Bridges suspended, breaking the space, different and uncertain perspectives, carry the rhythms and the emotions. The perceptible tension of the work is its justification. The painter, deeply involved in the choice of the contrasting values of black and white, is looking for plural dimensions. These confrontations put forward express explosions, reconciliations, the meeting of vital forces. Black and white is the absolute confrontation, from the interior of which is it not possible to express the chaos of life?” – Marie-Christine Jodier
