A curation by Chaltiel attali, Founder at Attaly - To paint is to touch. In Matière Première, the artists return to the essence of the pictorial gesture—that of contact, trace, texture. Each work is a dialogue between hand and surface, between control and accident. The painting becomes almost a sculpture, a relief, an imprint. The pigments crumple, spread, overlap. We read the movement of the body, the tension of the arm, the rhythm of breathing. It is an instinctive, organic, almost archaic painting, which does not seek perfection but presence. A painting which, before being looked at, must be felt.
