Gerald Petit, «Sans titre (La Portée)»

Thursday 20 June 2013 at 6:26 pm

Under the partnership between the Fondation d’entreprise Ricard and the Maison du Barreau of Paris, a work by the French artist Gerald Petit will be installed on June 20 and for a period of three months in the hall of the institution.

 » A dance piece by American choreographer and dancer Trisha Brown inspired this painting.
It echoes a set of paintings which will be exhibited at the Fondation d’entreprise Ricard from May to July and refers to the relation between dance and social rite, a relation embodied in collective poses both graceful and evocative.
This oil painting done in situ involves one body which, in its suspension, may successively convey different states: a dynamic, a dodge, a liberation or even a reaction. Once painted, the figure both surrenders and frees itself at will, according to the question asked by its spectator: what is this gesture, and what is its scope? «
