About this artwork
This work is permeated by a contained tension, an energy that is never fully released.
Built in layers, it juxtaposes structured, almost architectural masses with more fluid areas, in a precarious balance between control and drift. The dense material is worked in successive layers, scratched, pressed, restrained. Nothing is left to chance, but nothing is entirely fixed.
Luminous fragments emerge, discreet, like escapes. They do not dominate the… composition, they pass through it, suggesting a possible escape, always out of reach.
Painted in resonance with the Deftones’ “Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away)”, the work captures a thwarted inner movement: an impulse towards elsewhere held in a form of almost physical gravity.
The gaze moves around without ever settling. Caught in a system of forces, it oscillates between horizontal tensions and vertical ruptures.

Jean-Marc Larhantec develops a painting constructed in resonance with sound.
Each work originates from an immersion in an album, whose rhythm, tensions, and silences he transposes into the material. His practice is rooted in a physical and structured abstraction. The surface is worked in depth, through layers, build-ups, and removals, until unstable fields of force are created, poised between equilibrium and rupture.
Painting is not an image: it is a space of tension.
The gesture engages the body as much as listening. It is not about illustrating the music, but about prolonging its effects, capturing an intensity and fixing it in matter.
His works are thus constructed in a constant oscillation between control and letting go, structure and accident, density and breath.
