Description of the Artwork “Conflicting information”
This painting is part of an oil dripping series where I was discussing the colors among them. In this one I deliberately used contradictory colors to create a conflict... like the one often perceptible in the informations... between what is said, and what really happened... This oil on linen canvas is varnished. It is signed on the back so that it is possible to expose it in four different ways, two horizontal, two vertical, which produce other perceptions of the whole. I still like to take the time to let my eyes wander endlessly in these paintings, which are told gently.

My paintings symbolize creative thinking patterns. I give visuals to listen to. "Who speaks, who hears, who listens?" I think that observing and giving these imaginary characters a regular voice will stimulate your creative thinking. It is your thoughts that these characters will express. That's why my characters are full of emotions. Often some even change their expressions according to the points of view from which they are viewed. They allow us to change our point of view and to make our reflections evolve. For a long time, I first painted the coming of information in an abstract way. An accident at the workshop cut me off from the use of my hand for two years. It was during my re-education that I decided to overcome the handicap and to arrived to paint my characters as I had always drawn them. Since then, I have been designing progressive installations-painting: compositions (see Instagram @ottxavier).
