""My Order and My Disorders""

All works are available for sale.

Price upon request

"Like Paul Bilhaud, Malevich, Rodtchenko, Yves Klein, Ad Reinhart or Rothko, the absence of realism and expressionism is not the prerogative of the lazy or the talentless.
The art of creating emotions in monochrome is precisely the most demanding artistic expression there is.
Succeeding in triggering emotion without artifice, simply, with the vibration of a color or a value, a texturing, is always a challenge.
We choose this path, when beyond the drawing, the emotion prevails over the form.
You don't draw an emotion, you feel it.
The work on order and disorder is first of all the feeling caused by the two states, my moments of serenity or anger, calm or storm.
We are very far, in all this, from painting... Painting is only the tool of movement and the feeling felt.
Paul Bihaud inaugurates the monochromatic style with sarcasm, but suddenly provokes emotion in the same way as the subtle vibrations of Mark Rothko, who, without sarcasm, and with talent, makes color sing.
The intense pleasure produced by the moment of the pictorial gesture is in fact only the feeling of the exact moment when, suspended, lost in front of this large white square, one pours out one's interior puffs.
There is therefore nothing exceptional in all this, for the moment, a man, a canvas, paint, emotions.
All of this should end there.
But, 25 years ago, someone absolutely wanted to buy one of these emotional moments, and there; Everything changed....
I suddenly understood that the pleasure of the gesture is nothing compared to the intense pleasure of knowing that there is a bit of me in others.
I am able to remember each painting executed, and the emotion thrown on the canvas at that moment.
I have only met, in 25 years, very few people who have acquired one of my paintings (the gallery owner being a perfect filter), not out of fear of people...out of shyness, of course, out of modesty when talking about my work, that's for sure, but despite this distance, I know that, inevitably, common feelings
animate us...
The fulfillment of all of this is knowing that every day you will look at that ""print"" that you have hung in your home, because you love it. You see your representations of form and color thrown there, which impose themselves. Maybe they are common to mine? Maybe not....
It doesn't matter, there's a little bit of me in you..."

Louis Dutolvac.
