Small Talk after Cape-Martin 2023
2023 Acrylic on canvas board (50.5x40.5cm)
A petite homage following a swim in Roquebrune Bay, shadowed by the stories of Eileen Gray’s E-1027 and Le Corbusier’s Cabanon. The painting attempts to capture a specific spirit: living entirely in the moment, free from the pressure of past or future—a feeling that was abundant in youth but feels sparse today. The painting still holds the peace of that afternoon but it doesn’t capture the exact physics of the sea color it was there, that day.I spent a massive amount of time chasing that unique sea blue, only to conclude that it exists in light, not pigment. Even Yves Klein’s blue seems too dark in comparison.
