"Architecture is a recurring theme in my work. You find it in watercolor as well as in tar paintings, often in eroded shapes, as in these Remnants. Here, the architectural structures become more and more broken in favor of large spaces of abstract parts that suggest elements of landscapes: rocks, plants, bodies of water."

Tar Paintings & Remnants

Tar and mixed technique,

early and mid-2000's

The technique of tar "has been used by some major artists of the 20e century. It is characterized by the high viscosity of the material and the lack of tinting strength. It gets more adaptable when it is heated a little or diluted with water", wrote Fabienne Quinsac.

"The mix with an aqueous medium being unstable, it is possible, in some situations, to obtain the impression of a flexible vegetation (especially branches and roots)."
