Painting memories

What remains of artworks when they escape our gaze? There remain traces produced by their memories. A memory made up of a series of patterns which link together to constitute images. In this action close to the imagination, it is, once again, a matter of bringing artwork to life. It’s about bringing past forms back to life by updating them in our present.

 

Memory, a province of the imagination

An artwork is the precipitate of the artist's imagination. This act of projecting images which will then become matter is similar to that of memory where mental images are arranged with a view to reconstructing the past.

These two movements, one turned towards the future and the other towards the past, meet in latent space. Here, artificial imagination acts as a machine to restore the memory of an aesthetic experience. It becomes a universal canvas where Bonnard, Monet and Van Gogh coexist, not as figures of the past, but as potentialities, echoes of what could have been and what could happen. In this imaginary space, color serves as a detonator for a reminiscence of artworks sometimes seen, sometimes dreamed of. Memories of an Exhibition was born from this crazy desire of a painter: to paint memories.
