In Lizard Point, the paint is constrained into a series of forms. Samuel Richardot has developed a pictorial language in which stencils frame the paint, which he then liquefies and spreads, observing the vagaries of the drying process over several weeks. The artist has in fact set up a sequenced work process: the slow production conditioned by the evolution of the material is preceded or succeeded by the rapid, distinct gesture of spray paint, an almost immediate material, to add swathes of colour. Lizard Point can thus be read as the decomposition of the vocabulary of a palimpsest painting.
