Sylvain BRUGIERE
Painting
116 x 89 cm
Dans Basile, Sylvain Brugière met en scène son propre fils, dont le nom a donné celui du tableau, debout sur une plage de sable rouge. Il regarde le sable retomber, formant en une fumée qui envahit l'arrière-plan. L’image photographique impulse l’image peinte, entre mimétisme et appropriation : les aplats de couleur à l’acrylique, dans des teintes franches, à la fois désaturées et contrastées, isolent le sujet dans un espace-temps propice à la contemplation.
Toutes les peintures del’artiste ont en commun la sensation d’un instant en suspens, d’une émotion universelle et intime à la fois, comme une sorte d’esthétique de l’intuition.
Sylvain Brugière first studied design and photography before obtaining his agregation in art and teaching in middle schools in the area of Orleans, France. At first, he worked on productions mixing different media (small installations, fabrications, images) that remain in the stage of drafts, and in 2017, he decided to reconnect with a pictorial practice that is more instinctive and sensory.
His work is based on personal photographs that Brugière has been accumulating through the years. Even though their subjects are diverse, they aesthetically make for a whole that questions our relationship to the world, from the most intimate to the universal, turning Brugière’s work into a pending, suspended question.
