About The Artwork

Leonardo da Vinci avait un talent bien plus affuté pour les portraits masculins comme le montrent ses autoportraits et ceux qu’il a fait de son amant Salai qui n’ont rien de la raideur compassée et quasi médiévale de la Joconde, si on la compare au portrait raffiné de « sa dame à l’hermine » de 1489. Je n’ai su résister à l’idée de « reprendre » le portrait de Mona Lisa en « version COVID-19 », car cette année 2020 aura été marquée par la création d’un certain nombre de Mona Lisa portant le masque. Leonardo da Vinci had a much sharper talent for male portraits as shown by his self-portraits and those he made of his lover Salai who have nothing of the stiff and almost medieval stiffness of the Mona Lisa, if we compare it to the refined portrait of "his lady with an ermine" from 1489. I could not resist the idea of "taking over" the portrait of Mona Lisa in "COVID-19 version", because this year 2020 will have been marked by the creation of a number of Mona Lisa wearing the mask

La culture occidentale a pour principe de considérer qu’une œuvre picturale et ou plastique est le résultat d’un acte cérébral premier et serait en quelque sorte que l’illustration de cet acte primordiale logocratique qui va définir avec précision ce que la main de l’artiste devra réaliser. Esprit de contradiction ou simplement déviance, j’ai toujours procédé d’une autre manière et plus particulièrement pour mes dessins où je laisse main produire une image de façon quasi automatique et surtout sans réfléchir. Je signe et date le dessin, puis je laisse murir « la chose » quelques temps avant de lui attribuer un titre qui se veut une possibilité parmi d’autres et pourrait donc tout à fait être différent s’il avait été définit un autre jour. Ce titre tient plus ou moins compte de ce que le dessin et où l’œuvre plastique montre d’éléments qui pourraient être signifiants et ou en tous les cas pourraient donner lieu à une « interprétation littéraire », même si elle reste très fortement aléatoire. Western culture has for principle to consider that a pictorial and or plastic work of art is the result of a first cerebral act and would be in a way that the illustration of this primordial logocratic act which will define with precision what the hand of the artist will have to realize. Spirit of contradiction or simply deviance, I have always proceeded in another way and more particularly for my drawings where I let my hand produce an image almost automatically and above all without thinking. I sign and date the drawing, then I let "the thing" mature for a while before giving it a title which is meant to be one possibility among others and could therefore be quite different if it had been defined on another day. This title more or less takes into account what the drawing and where the plastic work shows elements that could be significant and or in any case could give rise to a "literary interpretation", even if it remains very highly uncertain.
