3D MIMICRY

Pascal, please continue! Not that I don't know what were you about to say, no, but this is the place for critique, isn't it?

I wrote a long comment that was a mix of compliments and criticisms but it started to drift into a personality theing since I know a little bit more about you tahn the average person at PN. So I deleted it because my intent ended up being mistranslated in the end. In short, I was commenting on the fact that I do not understand your pictures as well as I should. Is there a hypnotic factor or subconscious/subliminal message I do not see? I suspect that's what's happening. It's not meant as a criticism of you but a criticism of me and I mean that. No one will believe me of course since everyone assumes they are geniuses and could not ever see their inability to understand the art in a picture. How can you smell without a nose, how can you see in infra red or hear the rumble of distant quasars? Those noises are the loudest in the universe but no human ear hears it, just specila telescopes. Is your art similar to that? Those type of thoughts...a bit strange but you can hear strange, I know...so here you have it.

My intentions doing this picture were aimed to making 3D effect and nothing else. A lot of my pictures are such, done led by the same motivation. Some of them have some other, easily understandable messages, especially for the people from my environment (social and political, let's say). Some messages even I do not see as well as I don't hear the loudest sounds in the universe. But human being possesses something else but common senses. As well as we have conscientiousness and subconsciousnesses there are at least two ways in and out. They may be parallel, crossed or more complex. The sense of aesthetic is one of the strange ways we receive messages or send them or make them. That's the mystery of the art. We simply don't ever know what the artist exactly wanted to say because even the artist didn't know it exactly, at least in many cases.

 

In my case something makes me do the picture look alive in the material aspect. In yours, for instance, something makes you reach the unknown visually, etc.

... simple elements combined and altered and combined again to come up with something unique and beautiful. I imagine Pierre at his desk much as I would imagine a potter at his wheel, hands moving up and down, up and down, shaping, reshaping, and sculpting and resculpting until it comes out complete. Well done, Pierre.
