The Gate . 2019

Acrylic on canvas. 22x27cm.

Je m’éloigne avec ce tableau de ma série Windows of Rye.
La petite ville de Rye est divisée en deux. L’une intra-muros, entourée par les fortifications. C’est la vieille ville.
L’autre, c’est en passant cette porte monumentale, la ville plus contemporaine avec son supermarché et sa gare.
Le but ultime d’une porte, c’est de prevenir d’un changement imminent. Ceux qui décide de traverser une porte savent que la perspective va bientôt changer.
Si au moment de passer une porte on se retourne, notre connaissance d’un lieu risque bien d’être différent à celui qu’on pensait connaitre. On risque de se retrouver dans une autre réalité.

Taking a small break from my « Windows of Rye Serie ».
There are two parts to Rye, the one built within the fortifications, the more historical side, with its church, castle and cemetery, and the one built outside of the fortifications, the more contemporary side, with its supermarket and train station.
The ultimate purpose of a door, I believe, is to warn of a coming change. Those that decide to walk through the door, are somehow informed that their perspective is going to change.
If one crosses a door and then turns around, their grasp of a place, might totally differ from what they previously thought they knew. They might find themselves in an other reality.
