This work tries to negotiate between human intimacy and abstraction.
Wherever there's emptiness, there is a space for a possible being, which/who doesn't exist, but may even exist. Universally speaking, there is always a possible human being  who is still missing and whose "updating" would  increase the value of the world if one  would realise it.
"The action of the visual art does not consist in expressing space, but determining it completely. " Piet Mondrian, A New realism - Plastic Art and Pure Plastic Art (1947), Other Essays (1942-1943).
Empty space is thus offered to the painter as the absence of a being that  he has, so to speak, vocation to produce, in order not to let pass an occasion to increase reality without making it profitable.

About The Artwork

This work tries to negotiate between human intimacy and abstraction. Wherever there's emptiness, there is a space for a possible being, which/who doesn't exist, but may even exist.

Statement: REALITY IS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF THE PAINTING. WHO: Guy Matchoro, is an autodidact artist. He lives and works in Nevers, France, where he has installed his studio since 2013. After a creative process nourished and fuelled with encounters and artistic collaborations, in particular in Kyoto, Japan, where he lived for a time, he focuses its studies towards a pictorial approach based and thought from a materiality of painting. WHAT: I began the past years a pictorial practice fully based and thought from what was strictly physical and material in painting. I have always been fascinated by the materiality of painting by its tactile side - its tactility and how this affinity should be able to finally transmit feelings and ideas which could be very very abstract. My relationship to painting is not any more in term of capture of the real-world. It is the picture in itself which is reality. What is the reality ? It's the reality of the act to paint which comes to appear there. I any more will not seek something elsewhere to nourish it or to justify it. WHERE: I placed myself by the teachings that I have learned from painters, books, museums, exhibitions, writings, but even more by traveling around the world... And the development of the practice in this line, while on the move, or working in the studio, in front of that tradition of the abstraction not like a stylistic choice but rather like a way of placing itself with respect vis-à-vis the Real. WHEN: My «job» as a painter is made up of moments. A series of moments of truth which represent actually the taking risk of the artist. The moment of truth is “of truth” when it irreversibly fixes something on which you cannot return: One moment that you cannot play again. If time is closed implacably with our incapacity to be able to play again, in the same time, it opens us to an infinite depth with freedom to produce the new one. Painting confirms what time affirms while making use as much of the daily life that moments of truth which are works of art. A time when nostalgia under the influence of memory leaves place and gives life to the merry assent of the incipient future.
