Details. The subtlety of detail. Amazing how the artifacts can reveal subtle details demonstrating that patience, this contemplation of this thinking design and manufacture. Do not think that I consistently rejected modernity. These details are already modernity. I do not denigrate. The current modernity also fascinates me. I have an iPhone ... That will tell you! But the modernity of yesteryear spellbinding me. It was governed by something else: time, length, strength, reliability ... Reputation. But also the hope of the future. What a concept! By observing this
lampholder, we note that simply bolt vane adjustment is refined and elegant, the sleeve itself is finely molded, made of a metal that has taken the patina of time with honor and happiness.
Yes, the object is altered. He lived. He suffered, but it is still there and fully functional.
In this new series of paintings that I start sporadically, I want to watch without judging, without translation, reproduce, recall without telling, let's print the image speak for itself.
This detail, this sleeve is part of a flexible clamp lamp that I have always seen hanging on the bridge of my mother. This lamp has gone before and it will certainly have one or two generations after me. The clip itself is worth some attention. It actually more like it. The spinning was rustic and literally cooked? Admittedly, it was simple to change to a new one. Regarding the rest, nothing to modify or renovate. This lamp is extraordinary and unique.
