Presentation
In a bold graphic style, JM Robert stencils faces on abstract backgrounds that echo the degraded, deteriorated effects of urban walls.
"The damaged facades of houses and buildings fascinate me. I've always felt strong emotions in front of the damaged walls, the ruins, they are my main source of inspiration. The background of the canvas must evoke the surface of an old wall.
This is achieved through the use of various materials, coatings and technique such as scraping and scratching the surfaces.
I am looking for my own aesthetic conception of the ruin within the very limited and constraining framework of the painting. For me, everything happens on the canvas as if drawing and colour no longer manage to combine to make a portrait.
It is this impossible assemblage, this dislocation that creates the painting, like an echo of our times."
