What do we observe in the brown sky of these long sheets of kraft paper? Wouldn't these be ominous clouds? Of a greenish blue reminiscent of the dark and deep water of a marsh, even incandescent as if coming out of a fire, these disturbing acrylic cumulus discharge their tears impregnated with dubious hues. Using vivid and alarming shades, the artist questions the viewer about the clouds of tomorrow. What will they be made of? Dystopian, these vaporous and dripping forms reveal an invisible pollution that has no borders.
“Not every cloud gives birth to a storm” said William Shakespeare. If not every cloud gives birth to a storm, it is partly because they absorb and embrace the particularities of their environment. Indeed, at present, humanity influences the composition of the air and thus generates pollution over long distances: acid rain, radioactive clouds, and many others... Harmful particles now make up all our atmosphere and the level of acid present in rainwater is constantly increasing, to such an extent that this phenomenon affects almost all areas of the world.
The particles of eternal chemicals responsible for this environmental disaster (also known as PFAS), become an insidious and unobtrusive danger that hovers in the most refreshing of breezes, in the most beautiful of nimbus.
