WRITE THE SPACE
Ludovic Philippon and Samuel Latour
January 2021
"To stand in front of a painting by Ludovic Philippon is to agree to give up the initial illusion that what is there can be named, identified or recognised. Is what I thought was a floral motif anything other than an expanding white space against an orange background? But what is the background here, the orange or the white? Orange Sweetness, says the title. This is a far cry from dictionaries and their cold definitions. We are at the heart of painting: of what painting gives us to experience when it plays with the limits that freeze the visible. "
Pierre Wat
Samuel Latour's work coincides with the creation of a "writing of volume" that expresses the sensitivities of our daily lives, our moods, our attitudes, our joy, our gentleness, our rigour, our eccentricity... His research has given rise to a singular vocabulary that draws abstraction towards its border with narrative.
