Why these portraits?
Because Virtual Art is on the move and I wonder about the future of creators who work in the solitude of their studio, here are some portraits of creators that I wanted to paint in the light.
The capitalist speculators, the very ones who today control artistic commodities, claim that tomorrow; Art will only be virtual, immaterial, clean and odorless.
In the process of creating a work, we build, we capture forces and in the immediacy we feel our soul vibrate.
Are we not going to feel an indefinable frustration if we can no longer caress, shape matter, manipulate materials and if we can no longer smell odors?
Will we still be afraid of not succeeding? Will we have the same enthusiasm to do? Will we be free to decide?
If they want to exist and live from their Art, needy creators, already confronted with elitism and the contempt of unscrupulous individuals, will have to trade their equipment for a machine. Will a work produced by computer make us feel the same emotions as when we contemplate a work worked by the genius of the hand which solicits intelligence?
How will we be able to differentiate a virtual reality from the real?
What will become of all these inventive creators, who transform matter and who do not want to follow this movement. They are talented and have great difficulty living from their Art, because they have to pay very high prices for locations to exhibit on Art markets? Because they only receive an income if they sell their creations and because they have become slaves in a speculative world of Art.
After the pressing of a society of over-consumption that manipulates us, devours us and destroys nature, here is the time of the automation of Art.
How many of us will disobey and rebel?
Isn't there a danger in discovering only images upon images? Will we still make the effort to Imagine? Don't we also risk becoming automatons bombarded by waves and locked in a virtual image?
I believe that IT is a useful tool when it allows us to communicate, to improve our concepts and when it helps us to concretize our creations but it can be destructive if these productions become pre-fabricated, formatted and manipulative .
It is the machine that operates through high-performance software, rendering us physically inactive.
Will there still be carelessness, clumsiness, accidents, unconsciously caused by the creators and which are sometimes at the origin of masterpieces?
What place will we leave for spontaneity, the unexpected and irregularity? What will be the aesthetics and the search for Harmony?
What will become of the passion of the Artist locked in a space, facing his screen?
What will become of science intimately linked to Art?
Are we not going to imprison ourselves a little more in individualism, forget to discover the world and ignore nature?
