Mark Fontaine - 1956
Acrylic painting on 40 x 70 cm cardstock, 100% cotton, heavyweight, 400 gsm.
With a certificate hand-signed by the artist
authenticated on the back
hand-signed on the front
Dimensions: 70 x 70 cm
Mark Fontaine works with the image and its natural character in abstract painting. The work, in particular, becomes an instrument of conceptual mobility that avoids any identification of the artist with the work, and of art with the world. The surface becomes the field of iconographic appearance, where the mechanical eye of the photographic lens and the impulse of the hand marking the photograph intertwine. Thus, as always, he works in two directions at once. In this case, the multimedia artist inhabits many cultural climates: transnational, multicolored, and multilingual. Yet he always produces a constant present that shuns nostalgia for the past and instead seeks to anticipate the signs of the future.
