Divertissement jaune / mixed media on canvas,
170 x 200 cm
Divertissement jaune (Yellow Distraction) is an erotic farce in which a certain
fetishism shows through. The vaguely Pop Art female figure that dominates
the painting is the only one not to be blurred by the repentant graphite haze
that drives back the other figures into its smoke. As though lips were the
identification of desire. This drawing touches on caricature, primitivism
and speed, while retaining a single allusion to satin-smooth skin. There is
a certain decadence, but it is joyful, pacified.
