By departing from the traditional canvas associated with painting, Clément Rodzielski generates an alternative space and a different perception of images through their indexical recovery. This black monochrome geometry is disrupted in its centre by a cut-out revealing curved forms similar to certain tattoo motifs popular in contemporary urban culture. The wall thus becomes a skin, a sensitive surface that contrasts with the piece’s apparent minimalism. This work from the Grands a series plays on imbalance and the mise en abyme of the frame, as well as on the effects of displacement or loss intrinsic to the circulation of images. By highlighting multiple points of view with minimal but effective gestures, the artist invites us to rethink the networks of distribution and their impact on the constitution of a common visual taste.
