Painting generally involves working within a two-dimensional space, which can sometimes be limiting. I wanted to incorporate volume into my work, and this new addition to the "Interlaced Landscapes" series explores that third dimension. The canvas-on-canvas layering adds a physical presence to the landscape. The black strips at the top and bottom reference traditional Chinese hanging scrolls. © Adagp

Lancelot Blondeel is a contemporary painter born in 1988. Trained as an engineer, he now works in Fontenay-sous-Bois, near Paris. The artist develops a gestural approach, creating paintings conceived in relation to movement. Through his practice, he builds a memory of gesture, leaving imprints and furrows on the surface. These singular traces are revealed through the combination of complementary materials: transparent matter, paper, and cotton canvas. Giving particular importance to the circulation of light through his works, the artist questions the way reality presents itself, exploring the mechanics of the senses and perception. From the trace of the body: 'a memory of gesture' to a reflection on the nature of the real, he engages in a reflexive stance that questions our modes of presence in the world.
