Improvisation

With: Jean-Luc Nancy (voice), Marcia Cavalcante (voice), Jesper Eriksson (saxophone), Peter Schuback (cello), Kristoffer Linder (percussion), Davor Kajfes (piano). Polyptych in seven parts. The philosopher improvises with thought, musicians with music and the painter with colour. Being there, bringing out colour in the very moment that the philosopher improvises his discourse about what is being accomplished. I distribute the process over seven canvases and seven bowls. Seven like the number of musical notes. The process accelerates. It becomes a sort of arrhythmia or tachycardia. It springs from listening empathetically to the words and the music.

Relating
This series of pictures regards all of those paintings which sprang from an external request. They thus derive from having come into contact with the mood of someone else’s palette and of having displayed the chromatic impressions one layer on top of the other or placed alongside one of my pre-existing paintings. Usually it is a question of having related to another artist’s painting, but what also occasionally happens is that I compare myself with another language, for example a literary one, or that I am inspired by a city. This series of paintings can also spring from a form of commissioning, in other words the work I am weighing myself up against can be determined by someone else.

Painting
Opere pittoriche a olio o acrilico su diversi supporti, ma prevalentemente su tela
