Vent de Sable (english version)

Painting Sandstorm“Vent de Sable” (detail) Fresco and casein Distemper on panel
© Hazlo 2008

“Vent de Sable” is a small fresco painting (27,5 x 27,5 inches). With the friendly help of a round nose trowel, several lime plaster coats were applied upon a rough hemp cloth stuck on a wooden panel, and then painted with a dispersion of oxides and colored earths in water (“a fresco”).
The movements in the color of the central horizontal part are supposed to illustrate an unusual event : a sandstorm (“Vent de Sable”).
And the upper and lower stripes, the frame of the opening through which one can observe it.
But from very close, it is to another kind of trip you will be invited.
I cannot prevent thinking of astronomy pictures then : The surface of Jupiter, and its mysterious moons, or Saturn, with its colored rings.
In this kind of trip, nearness and infinitely big can merge together sometimes… Like all those worlds that are wandering inside us, continuously.

    J’adore ce que vous faites .
    Des toiles animées par l’esprit du Zen : pureté , beauté , harmonie , sobriété .
    Celle ci me fait penser , peut être à cause des lignes rappelant les dunes de sable , à Saint Exupéry méditant dans le désert , face à l’Infini .

    Quand on commence un tableau, c’est un peu comme un plongeon dans l’inconnu puis le tableau est là, et par la voix de ceux ou celles qui le regardent, il se met à nous parler…à nous parler de nous mêmes… et c’est toujours très émouvant. Merci Jean, pour ces paroles sensibles.
