CONTRE-SOL invokes a strong mineral presence. Beyond an asserted materiality, the sensation of an abstract language appears in the spatial arrangement of a full - empty equilibrium. The raw slate is laid bare between two large polished calm. The deep smooth blacks are confronted with the violent contrasts of the rocks torn from the peculiarities of the soils. Pierre Martin invites the viewer to experience a form of meditative moment: a slow opening…
of the pupils which open up shades of light to blacks.
