MA HAUTEUR MANGE MA HAUTEUR. 13 September to 9 November 2013 Jean Simon Raclot. For his exhibition at the Galerie Eva Vautier, Jean Simon invites us to discover a series of paintings and drawings in mostly acid tones, “chlorophyllic”, teeming with intense, almost radiant touches that lend a fantastical accent to the whole. Memorial images, related to the painter’s journey, who has experimented with withdrawal and solitude, bring back these canvases imbued with a gentle, fluorescent melancholy. At a time when climate disruption is at the heart of current affairs, this chromatic disruption acts as a powerfully dreamlike filter, evoking in turn other times and other places. Think of the landscapes of Ridley Scott’s Alien, « Cobra verde », the Green Hell, that jungle at the heart of darkness. Humankind prowls, masked or off-kilter, within this empty theatre. Towards the greens, as close as possible to vertigo. Jean-Luc Blanc 2013
