Peau de Pergame (Icône), 2014
Parchment stretched on frame /
20 x 20 x 4 cm



      Framed in a floater frame, Peau de Pergame is like an abstract painting, with its shapes, colours and composition.
      But a painting that is not a painting at all: after closer observation, it is a parchment that is stretched on a frame – not a canvas.
      It is therefore a writing surface, but on which nothing is written – unless everything has already been erased.

      Perfectly shaped (a square of 20 x 20 cm), it is exposed at such a height that it is beyond our reach, except for our eyes.

     Perhaps this work is as much a pagan icon as a literary monochrome.
