Within the apparent limitations of a fixed format, an elusive fluidity reveals itself. Layers of paint appear to have been applied slowly and deliberately, but in reality they are brushed on quickly, accurately, almost fleetingly. Marc remains exceptionally faithful to his colour palette, a constant he has maintained with precision for forty years. The paint skin lives, vibrates, never holds its breath. The work moves, plays with gravity, with reading direction, as if the elements are always in transition; nothing is fixed, nothing is definitive.
Marc behaves like an orchestra conductor who closely follows the score, but always leaves room for improvisation. In his compositions, the familiar order shifts, sharp depths are suddenly disrupted, and a moment is enlivened by an unexpected flash of colour. Each brushstroke is a new movement, a twist that constantly adapts to the fluidity of space: never defined, always overlapping, always in dialogue with itself.
The small formats tell stories about the wrist, the rapid movements, the immediate gesture. The larger formats, on the other hand, understand the body, the arm that reaches out, that seeks space. These canvases not only conceal the musicality of the painting process, but reveal a force that breaks beyond the defined space. Like a dance that is not limited by rules, that seeks freedom in its own movement, its own fluid expression.
Small choreographies, refined inner movements that sing the praises of pure abstraction, always in motion, elusive like a fish's body.
