Le philosophe grec Epicure reprenant l’idée de Nature comme étant composée d’atomes et de vide introduisit le concept de « Clinamen » du grec, déclinaison. Il le définit comme étant une déviation aléatoire des atomes chutant dans le vide. Par chocs successifs, cette déclinaison originelle engendrerait le monde tel que nous le connaissons…
L’objectif de cette série est double. Il s’agit d’une part de rendre hommage aux penseurs Grecs à l’origine de la pensée atomiste. En effet, ce qui au départ n’était qu’une expérience de pensée, s’est révélé être une vérité scientifique de nombreux siècles plus tard…
D’autre part, la série repose sur la volonté de traduire visuellement ma fascination pour cette idée d’apparition ou d’émergence du monde.
Attention !
Il existe un défaut de vernis visible en lumière forte et rasante. Ce défaut n'impacte en rien la couche picturale et est visible dans certaines conditions seulement. Me contacter pour plus d'informations à ce sujet.

Lancelot Blondeel, photographer and artist, questions the essence of existence and our relationship to the world around us. From his adolescence, he felt this tension between the "self" and the outside world, exacerbated by philosophy classes in high school. This dichotomy between the perception of things and their own reality pushes him to question the functioning of our senses and the reliability of our consciousness to understand the world.
During his engineering studies, science offered him a temporary refuge, but it was the discovery of the work of the philosopher Clément Rosset which reassured him and strengthened him in his quest. He then realizes that it is this fundamental questioning about the relationship between humans and reality that truly guides him.
At the same time, a significant aesthetic experience during a retrospective dedicated to Zao Wou-Ki encouraged him to explore painting for the first time. He experiments with different materials and techniques, seeking to create a dialogue between texture and form, and to capture a singular aesthetic.
His second exhibition, rue des Beaux-Arts in Paris, offered him the opportunity to share space with renowned artists such as Henri Michaux, Georges Mathieu, Hans Hartung and Sol Lewitt, thus illustrating his gaze both turned towards the past and the future.
