Philippe Weisbecker: Oxymores

Oxymores brings together 16 diptychs by Philippe Weisbecker. Drawings with abstract or sometimes identifiable forms, painted with precision or drawn on the paper, presented opposite each other, in a play of masses and colors. His work is a search for the essence of the subjects he draws: his line reduces the form to its obviousness, the representation is almost schematic. Yet this simplicity vibrates and, far from being cold and distant, his gaze is, on the contrary, as close as possible to the objects represented. One perceives an attention, a humility, and a pleasure in honestly re-transcribing the most ordinary reality. his drawings and paintings in vintage notebooks or on refurbished papers where he explores his favorite subjects: architecture, objects, clothes, vehicles... The beauty of the ordinary, the intelligence of usual shapes, are considered with a new eye and brought back to their greatest graphic simplicity. size: 28 pages, 8.25" x 11"content: paperback w/ color & b/
