Gyan Panchal: Redevenir soleil
This exhibition promotes the idea that a renewed life and work situation, outside of a town area, can enable the artist to go further than what he knows, further than his past experiences and those ill-preconceived ideas. Since he developed an actual repertoire of gestures, gestures slowly converging towards an abstract sculpture favoring a state of surface, the artist has looked back at the distance he has traveled. Until 2012, the works were telling their own making in a discreet way. The hand of the artist seemed to have barely left the work at the moment of the exhibition. The simple, yet fundamental question of knowing how a sculpture can stand erect produced works whose form depended on the intrinsic qualities of the synthetic materials used. Little by little, it was about finding the moment when a piece would work in itself and in the space. The gestures sometimes consisted in wiping pigments on a foam board to reveal the folding process, or grinding insulating material to disclose a new surface, in the tradition of Process Art 脿 la Barry Le Va.
