Concrete Catédrale

En 2018, La fondation colas m’a invité à peindre sur la centrale à béton du groupe Servant à Beziers. C’était un défis d’habiller ce site industriel. J’ai imaginé une composition qui transforme cette centrale en une sorte de cathédrale industrielle. Les couleurs s’inspirent directement de l’environnement de la centrale en reprenant les couleurs de l’entreprise, les formes utilisées peuvent faire penser à un vitrail. L’analogie entre le sacré et et l’industriel est bien sur une illusion optique, du moins il me semble.

In 2018, the Colas Foundation invited me to paint a concrete industrial site in Béziers, in the south of France. It was a special task for me to turn an industrial building into an art sculpture. I decided to use my method of deconstruction and use different shapes and colors to wrap the building. The final result remind me of the stainless glass of a cathedral. I was pleased with the analogy with a religious building and an industrial site.

Impregnated by the practice of graffiti, which he began in 1990 in Rennes, Brez develops a painting that seems to use codes from cubism, constructivism or futurism. However, his graphic language is more certainly the heritage of the research of a letter style, a quest intimately related to the world of graffiti writing. Between abstraction and figuration, his In Situ paintings are inspired by the panorama while playing with the surface of the chosen places. The workshop work feeds on the forms inherited from graffiti and adapts to the limited frame of the canvas. He feeds again the painting in the public space in a permanent coming and going.
