EVAN BOURGEAU
Evan Bourgeau works in duo with Camille Franch-Guerra and alone. He passes through as many mediums as he researches, as many subjects as theories that animate in his thoughts anthropogenic, metaphysical or moral and cultural questions. Attached to the word, to writing: semantics is an inherent part of his creative process; because writing is linked to wandering. This wandering can also be found in his poetic works, which focus on daily life, desire, love, empathy or nostalgia.
Through his latest research and introspection, paintings have been made where emptiness and the attempt to both avoid and fill it are part of a connection between mind, hand, and medium, following a so-called “symbiotic” state where the body is thus put to the test… As a meditative moment, the hand would metaphorically represent the “dreaming eye”, and the color, an immediate interpretation of the unconscious.
“It is a jealousy, in a way, coming from the infinite. And in order not to remain frozen, stupefied, I then maintain this jealousy and I express it, since jealousy precedes imagination; it exceeds the sight. Then I can touch of the thought the infinite one and to represent me the perpetual death and rebirth of any thing circulating around the being, in the desire. Unflabbergasted.”
