class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Belgian artist Michel Boulanger (1944-2024) practices brush drawing, but his approach is more complex and includes different layers. For him, it is about establishing a physical presence of the work, which is then appreciated as a sculpture. Whether it is the <em>Caisse et 1 son 1971-73 <\/em><em>(1978)<\/em> or <em>Bo\u00eete de Zagora <\/em><em>(1985)<\/em>, we see that the artist is concerned with the resonance of the work and its echo in the space which surrounds it.<\/p><p>For Michel Boulanger, drawing is the trace of a perpetual questioning. The precise and demanding gaze he casts on his models reflects his infinite curiosity.\u00a0 <br \/>Faced with a naked body, he does not simply seek to find a form of sensuality, but he attempts to capture the very essence of the body in question. The drawing then acquires a harsh character, without complacency with reality. If the creative gesture is often fleeting, the observation that precedes it can be very long. A state of maximum receptivity close to meditation is essential so that suddenly and without any form of premeditation, the artist begins to run the brush over the sheet. He is, he says, listening to the body of the paper, the brush and the ink, which \"coagulate lovingly.\"<\/p><p>Sometimes Boulanger orchestrates confrontations between his drawings. He assembles works from different periods which, initially autonomous, reveal themselves to one another. This work of relating or composing is as integral to his creative process as the drawing itself. As if he were attributing autonomy to his works, the artist piles up and preserves his drawings in the hope that they will finally reach <em>to the truth<\/em> after a more or less long time.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-a1365fb\" data-id=\"a1365fb\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-1217168 elementor-section-height-min-height elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-items-middle wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no wpr-column-slider-no wpr-equal-height-no\" data-id=\"1217168\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-4d82be7\" data-id=\"4d82be7\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3c921ec elementor-widget elementor-widget-spacer\" data-id=\"3c921ec\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"spacer.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-spacer-inner\"><\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-821e763 elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no wpr-column-slider-no wpr-equal-height-no\" data-id=\"821e763\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-no\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-56a9d5f\" data-id=\"56a9d5f\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fd49185 elementor-widget-divider--view-line elementor-widget elementor-widget-divider\" data-id=\"fd49185\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"divider.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-divider\">\n\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-divider-separator\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-inner-section elementor-element elementor-element-c18638d elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default wpr-particle-no wpr-jarallax-no wpr-parallax-no wpr-sticky-section-no wpr-column-slider-no wpr-equal-height-no\" data-id=\"c18638d\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-inner-column elementor-element elementor-element-74007c9\" data-id=\"74007c9\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-27d1552 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"27d1552\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>\u00a92022 All rights reserved Galerie Bernard Bouche<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.galeriebernardbouche.com\/en\/mentions-legales\/\">Legal mentions<\/a> &#8211;

Il s\u2019agit pour lui d\u2019\u00e9tablir une pr\u00e9sence physique de l\u2019\u0153uvre, qui s\u2019appr\u00e9cie d\u00e8s lors comme une sculpture. Qu\u2019il s\u2019agisse de la Caisse et 1 son 1971-73 (1978) ou de la Bo\u00eete de Zagora (1985), on constate que l\u2019artiste se pr\u00e9occupe de la r\u00e9sonance de l\u2019\u0153uvre et de son \u00e9cho dans l\u2019espace qui l\u2019entoure. Pour Michel Boulanger le dessin est la trace d\u2019un perp\u00e9tuel questionnement. Le regard pr\u00e9cis et exigeant qu\u2019il pose sur ses mod\u00e8les vient refl\u00e9ter son infinie curiosit\u00e9.\u00a0 Face \u00e0 un corps nu, il ne cherche pas simplement \u00e0 trouver une forme de sensualit\u00e9, mais il tente de saisir l\u2019essence m\u00eame du corps en question. Le dessin acquiert alors un caract\u00e8re \u00e2pre, sans complaisance avec le r\u00e9el. Si le geste de cr\u00e9ation est souvent fugace, l\u2019observation qui pr\u00e9c\u00e8de peut \u00eatre tr\u00e8s longue. Un \u00e9tat de r\u00e9ceptivit\u00e9 maximale proche de la m\u00e9ditation est indispensable pour que soudainement et sans aucune forme de pr\u00e9m\u00e9ditation, l\u2019artiste se mette \u00e0 faire courir le pinceau sur la feuille. Il est, dit-il, \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9coute du corps du papier, du pinceau et de l\u2019encre, qui se \u00ab\u00a0coagulent amoureusement\u00a0\u00bb. Parfois Boulanger orchestre des confrontations entre ses dessins. Il assemble des travaux d\u2019\u00e9poques diff\u00e9rentes qui, autonomes au d\u00e9part, se r\u00e9v\u00e8lent les uns aux autres. Ce travail de mise en rapport ou de composition fait partie int\u00e9grante de son processus de cr\u00e9ation, autant que le dessin en lui-m\u00eame. Comme s\u2019il attribuait une autonomie \u00e0 ses \u0153uvres, l\u2019artiste entasse et conserve ses dessins dans l\u2019espoir qu\u2019ils parviennent enfin au vrai apr\u00e8s un temps plus ou moins long. \u00a92022 All rights reserved Galerie Bernard BoucheMentions l\u00e9gales &#8211; Politique de confidentialit\u00e9<\/p>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":67,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"elementor_canvas","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-2353","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.galeriebernardbouche.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2353","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.galeriebernardbouche.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.galeriebernardbouche.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.galeriebernardbouche.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.galeriebernardbouche.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2353"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"https:\/\/www.galeriebernardbouche.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2353\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4477,"href":"https:\/\/www.galeriebernardbouche.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/2353\/revisions\/4477"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.galeriebernardbouche.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2353"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
