About The Artwork

' I saw the darkness as a hope for my own resurrection. Dive into his heart and only made me vibrate a little more with a new desire not to stay there. Beauty is in each volute, in each deregulation, each irregularity. This image, a fantasy from my childhood, is like the vision of the place never to be reached but never to be forgotten. Beauty is also in darkness.' Frederic Daty Based from the iconic image of the Star Wars 'Dark Moon', this image of this supreme weapon hiding somewhere in the space ready eat planets always fascinated me, jut like a 'Damocles Sword' on our shoulder ready to judge us. I tried to express the feeling of the vibration, making the steel alive... almost abstract as it looks just like something can't really express ... an eye in the space... CaÏn eye, looking at us...

With primary materials, street elements - metal, tar, rust, sand, spray paint - and stylized, forms stripped of the overflowing of images that floods us and knocks us, Daty requalify the environment and creates ' high reliefs ' of steel and shadows by playing with light and three dimensions to recreate an anamorphic world, to the altered and lyrical reality. Invoking the surrealist world of Hieronymus Bosch, the symbolism of Gustave Moreau or the engravings of Gustave Doré, drinking from the illustrators of heroic-fantasy and science fiction (Moebius, Jodorowsky), fascinated by the light effects of the shadow theater Chinese PiYing, the kinetic art of Tinguely or Shun Ito and playing with perspectives in the manner of an Escher or modern 3D shooting techniques, it plunges us into a world of bubble cities, cities and towns. roots, from Birdviews where our reality is stylized, distorted, emptied of everything that makes life. Daty-signature-or-gold.gif Then only the skeleton of steel springing from the wall and the light playing with the forms and recreating life.The result is a force of narration, a magnetism where the spectator is surprised to try to fill the voids, feels absorbed by the energy released, driven by the movement, the adhesion or the rejection. He rewrites the world, his world.
