Until the Fall
Ten paintings by Alain Séchas, contemporary French artist who lives and works in Paris. Known for his graphic work, sculptures and installations inspired from comic books, cats and martians (to name but a few) presents ten vertical formats. Nothing else. No sculpture, no technology, no sound. And no cats either, no Martians. Acrylic paint on paper meticulously mounted on canvas. The white edge of the paper is visible and so is the canvas.
Very colourful and detailed paintings, dense and devious. Images in which, at first glance, nothing seems preconceived or premeditated. Ten paintings executed on paper taped to the studio wall. Painted fairly fast, “depending on the degree of success,” says Séchas. His work is often reduced to smooth, simple images. Séchas often has the violence of smoothness but there’s none of that here. It is both rough and lively.
