The question of the frame, a significant issue in our reading of the world, is central in the works of Clément Rodzielski. Here, the artist has cut into a wooden panel fixed to the wall in order to create a display device for this wall drawing which evokes the sensuality of the many female backs tattooed with this motif. The skin of the wood matches the evanescent curves of the sketch, further accentuating the centrifugal sensations and dizzying nature of this unusual embedding. This perforated rectangular mass seems to open up towards another dimension, but by affirming its flatness, it maintains the paradox of masking in order to reveal. Through the use of mimicry, Untitled represents the phenomena of dispersion and dissolution inherent in the circulation of contemporary images, while at the same time creating a new analogical system withing the shifting interstices that led to the Grands a series.
