About this artwork
In this hybrid composition, Daimyo summons both the legacy of ancestral power and contemporary vanity. Almost totemic forms emerge from a vortex of material, where the paint seems to sometimes sculpt, sometimes mask. The word "OSTENTATOIRE," at the center, acts as a threshold or a mask, blurring the line between authority and appearance.
The raw texture of the linen, the organic thicknesses, the sharp gestures and the play of chromatic balance evoke… a ritual tension, between affirmation and dissimulation.
Daimyo is part of a series in which I question the visual language of power, combining abstraction, symbols and fragments of writing.
