Les Munitionettes

Sรฉrie – Extrait de l’exposition Framework ร  la galerie Pictura, Cesson-Sรฉvignรฉ, 2025


Cette sรฉrie est nรฉe dโ€™une fresque รฉphรฉmรจre, peinte spontanรฉment dans le quartier de la Courrouze ร  Rennes. Jโ€™y avais captรฉ lโ€™รฉnergie dโ€™un paysage urbain en mutation, traduisant ses couleurs et ses formes en une composition instantanรฉe. Il nโ€™en reste aujourdโ€™hui que la photographie de lโ€™ล“uvre originale, la fresque ayant disparu quelques semaines plus tard.

En atelier, jโ€™ai recomposรฉ cette mรฉmoire ร  partir de cette photo et dโ€™รฉlรฉments glanรฉs sur place. Le triptyque qui en rรฉsulte fragmente lโ€™ล“uvre initiale, sans chercher ร  la reproduire, mais ร  en conserver lโ€™essence et lโ€™instantanรฉitรฉ.Une installation accompagne la sรฉrie : les objets prรฉlevรฉs et la palette de couleurs utilisรฉe y deviennent des reliques, tรฉmoins silencieux du contexte qui ont inspirรฉ la crรฉation.



This series was born from an ephemeral mural, painted spontaneously in the Courrouze district of Rennes. I captured the energy of an urban landscape in transformation, translating its colors and shapes into an instantaneous composition. Today, only a photograph of the original work remains, as the mural itself disappeared a few weeks later.

Back in the studio, I sought to preserve the memory of this fleeting piece. Using the photograph and elements collected on-siteโ€”a brick, a branch, a cinder blockโ€”I recomposed a triptych. The result is a fragmented interpretation of the original mural, not a reproduction, but an attempt to retain its essence and spontaneity.

An installation accompanies the series: the collected objects and the color palette used become relics, silent witnesses to the context and emotion that inspired this creation.

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.
