Rémy HYSBERGUE
At first glance we may wonder what is the relationship between the painting on methyl polymethacrylate, in other words a plastic mirror, presented at the gallery on the exhibition «Les Braves» in 2012 and his new paintings on silk velvet. In both cases it is a question of opening a new perceptual space. With the mirror, it is the physical space in front of the painting that visually penetrates deep into the painted space; with velvet it is a dense, absorbent colored space, as well as in Rothko’s most beautiful paintings. Beyond technical mastery, it is the creation of a limited number of spaces superimposed (often three, the number of planets from which the chaos theories discovered by Raymond Poincaré apply) , which most certainly characterizes his works.
Matter, light, space are the terms that recur most often in the writings on the works of this painter. We often start by talking about matter because it is the last layer, the most obvious to impose itself in the eyes, whereas we should probably end with it. Space in itself, it creates by hiding the spaces below. It happens rather rarely to become the main space, especially in A40020. It presents itself as a skin, which plays with our gaze to perceive what is hidden, visible in the interstices, the folds, the tears. It’s a reverse eroticism. On the light background slightly degraded to define a three-dimensional space, the black curves which themselves cover another color (which detaches them from the background), define by their curvature a curved space which can induce to associate the first layer. It was only by greatly enlarging a white trace detail of the painting that I realized my error. My so-called skin, the first space or layer is actually the last, the silk velvet. he black traces of a large brush stroke on the velvet are stunning.
In several works Rémy Hysbergue reproduces a wide-angle perspective by the repetition of the same successive touches that grow or shrink according to the desired perspective effect. In the dark paintings one thinks of the effects of waves illuminated by the moon and the flash for the foreground in the sea at night, in particular for the work A38220. In A36420, there is almost a horizon line in the darkness of the painting in its center, stopped by an enigmatic vertical space. There may be a mid-height horizon line effect also in the A39620 painting, a magnificent work, rich in diverse and disorienting perspectives.
Born in 1967 in Valenciennes, Rémy HYSBERGUE is one of the most important abstract painters of his generation in France. He has exhibited in reference galleries, including Galerie Jean Brolly and Nancy Hoffmann Gallery. His works are in the collections of the Fonds National d’Art Contemporain, the collections of several FRAC, Musée Oohara in Japan.
