About this artwork
For this MadeReadyPaper, I'm starting with a poster torn from the exhibition “Paula Rego’s Cruel Tales”.
I then begin by creating a black/grey background using only fragments of posters I have on hand, sorted for their dark tones. I don't paint this background; I create it using a paper-like technique, layering paper onto fabric primed with gesso. Next, I spend a long time searching for the placement of the image and the poster's title: I move them… around, let them sit, and come back to them, until I find the perfect point of tension with the background.
The final step involves partially covering or tearing certain areas to disrupt the balance. This piece opens a space where the viewer momentarily loses their bearings: they no longer simply recognize an image by Paula Rego, but are led to a slow, contemplative gaze, close to the fragility of the fragment. Like every MadeReady, this piece is merely a tool in LARTBATARD's service: shifting the image to shift the gaze.
I created LARTBATARD, a form of artcycling born from urban collage, to offer contemporary art lovers images that resist simple “scrolling” and invite them to look differently. Using torn posters, printing inks and gestural painting, I develop six families of MadeReady (PhotosReadyMade, MadeReady_Paper, MadeReady_#Paper, MadeReady_Ink#artRevues, MadeReady_PaperInk and MadeReady_DrawInk) which replay the signs of our time and reveal its tensions. My series question identity, the body, migration and the memory of struggles, in a world saturated with images where every face seems replaceable. My works have circulated in galleries, in residences and online, in France and internationally; each piece functions for me as an archaeology of the present, a fragment of humanity to collect before it disappears.
