Patrick DES GACHONS (born 1944). - Lot 134
Patrick DES GACHONS (born 1944). Compositions 83 -00. Suite of eighteen acrylic paintings, signed and dated on reverse. H_30 cm W_30 cm (each canvas) H_30 cm W_540 cm (total linear) Note: "Painted in the center of a white square background, [a] blue square progresses each year by one percent towards total background coverage. Begun with a ratio of 50/100 (blue square/white square) in 1983, it should reach 100/100 by 2032. The program would naturally be interrupted and the work completed if I were to disappear before that date." With this immutable program, Patrick des Gachons exasperates the constituents of painting (form, figure, composition) to retain only the "truth": the application of color to a support. An average of 70 passes of paint on each work enable him to achieve a deep, intense blue, which, like Yves Klein's, has a spiritualist vocation.
