Two point of views and a back way. Windows of Rye. 2019

Acrylic on canvas. 38×46 cm.

Voici le second tableau de ma sĂ©rie Windows of Rye. Au dĂ©but de cette annĂ©e, quelques semaines avant la premiĂšre date du brexit, j’ai visitĂ© la petite ville mediĂ©vale de Rye au sud de l’angleterre. Je voulais peindre les diffĂ©rentes strates de cette ville. J’ai passĂ©e beaucoup de temps Ă  prendre des photos des rues sous tous les angles. C’est au troisiĂšme jour de ma visite que j’ai rĂ©alisĂ© que les fenĂȘtres avaient une histoire Ă  raconter.
Dans ce tableau, mĂȘme si les deux fenĂȘtres appartiennent Ă  la mĂȘme maison, elles reflĂštent toutes les deux un horizon diffĂ©rent. Un passage sur le cĂŽtĂ©, permet de fuire au cas ou.

This is the second painting from the Windows of Rye serie. Earlier this year, a couple of weeks before the first Brexit-date was suppose to take place, I visited the medieval city of Rye in the South of England, not far from Hastings. At first, I was interested in painting the different layers of the city. I spent quite a lot of time taking pictures of the streets from all sorts of angles. It was on the third and last day of my visit that I realised that the windows had a story to tell.
Although they belong to the same building,  two windows show opposite views. There is also a back way for those ready to jump over the wall.

  1. I love the fact that the two windows tell two different stories, and of course, why not? Because their experiences are different. Your painting made me look at them as being alive, I love that.

  2. Has people jumping over the ledge been a common occurrence?

    1. To be truthful, it looks more like a small wall, but what an interesting question.

      1. Ah- so they weren’t jumping to their deaths from the window- I was gonna say that would have been a very morbid factoid in your post.

      2. You are right ! The word ledge can confuse. I will modify the sentence forthwith !

      3. No biggie- I can b pretty morbid myself- as you can probably tell from my art 🙂-perhaps that’s why I interpreted that way- oops!
