Artist's Statement:

My interest in painting and the question of its boundaries are at the source of my work.

Wishing to retain a certain distance from painting, my work has focused not on canvas, but on a series of independent objects set in a network of interconnections. The eye does not focus on one but on several canvases and circulates from one painting to another.

Within this whole, each painting is built on its relationship to the other paintings; that is to say that a painting entails a second one, the two paintings entail a third, the three paintings entail a fourth, and so on… Each new painting is the continuity of the other paintings, which enables the whole to gain new elements ad infinitum.

These unfinished paintings attempt to set up an open constellation. The writing of Umberto Eco has inspired this system. In the Open Work (1962), Eco attempts to demonstrate that a work of art is an ambiguous message, open to an infinity of interpretations in so far as several signifiants share one single signifier.
