Sergik's Exhibition
From Saturday July 3 to Sunday August 8, 2010, Marché Biron will hold a rather singular exhibition showing some SERGIK’s paintings.
Such a summer exhibition will take place in Galleries 185 and 186 located in Alleyway 2 of Marché Biron.
Now, to learn more about his work, please read what Sergik in person tells you about it:
Instantaneous Notion
The essence of my work lies in the notion of what is instantaneous or fugacious that is occurring in a very short time.
I can just compare it to a snapshot. Quite unusual, don’t you think? The work is motionless and looks like a solidified object or even recalls a cataclysm that is generally a previous notice of death but can also point at a happy event like, for example, a smiling couple sitting in a public park.
My snapshots or artistic creations are very much like temporary figures materialized by fragments of life or death that give birth, in the end, to a whole story. “It’s just as I told you before, isn’t it?” That’s it. When things get so pathetic, you’d better keep your sense of humour!
Work
The use of such a word to qualify an artistic creation sounds peculiar. First, it sounds materialistic (it’s a thing), then it sounds scientific (it’s a free electron).
Such a special way to capture an object through its lacks and holes makes a figure decompose and its aspects diverge etc…
Everything else is found in my drawings and purposes.
I haven’t become a Saint yet!
Work again
I don’t work for nothing!
Put me in a pillory, if you like, but, please, let me die slowly, as a famous poet once sang.
Never forget that this work required labour.
The “unrolling” (not disgusting) question is: Why?
The poet would say: “Like waves rolling into a consenting sea”.
