meanings and his works encourage us to take a step back and consider certain essential notions from a completely different angle.<\/p><p>As Julie Bawin explains in a text published in l\u2019Art m\u00eame in 2007: \u201cIf there is one artist whom no consideration of fashion seems to divert from the path he has determined to follow, it is Pol Pierart. Away, almost in secret, he develops a constant and coherent body of work which has the unpredictability of continuing to hold the eye, to shake up our habits of vision and to put an end, temporarily, to the triumph of demonstration. Throughout his exhibitions, we are always won over by the little discoveries of a man who, if he does not like public speaking, plays skillfully with words, the irony of shifts in meaning and the fantasy of innuendos (\u2026) <em>l\u2019Art m\u00eame <\/em>en 20007\u00a0: \u00ab\u00a0S\u2019il est un artiste qu\u2019aucune consid\u00e9ration de mode ne semble d\u00e9tourner du chemin qu\u2019il s\u2019est d\u00e9termin\u00e9 \u00e0 suivre, c\u2019est bien Pol Pierart. A l\u2019\u00e9cart, presque en secret, il d\u00e9veloppe une \u0153uvre constante et coh\u00e9rente qui a ceci d\u2019impr\u00e9visible qu\u2019elle continue de retenir le regard, de bousculer nos habitudes de vision et de mettre un terme, provisoirement, au triomphe de la d\u00e9monstration. Au fil de ses expositions, on demeure toujours conquis par les petites trouvailles d\u2019un homme qui, s\u2019il n\u2019aime gu\u00e8re la parole publique, joue habilement avec les mots, l\u2019ironie des glissements de sens et la fantaisie des sous-entendus (\u2026)<\/p><p>Of his painting, the artist says that it allows him to go directly to the essential, that it authorizes him to grasp the physical presence of the word. Thus, unlike his photographs which apostrophize the attention with meaningful modes of association and a staging of aphorisms and other language games, the canvases surprise by a great economy of means and by a rhythmic syntax limited to a single word. In fresh color, the painter quickly traces letters that contain a seemingly innocuous term. Anyone who knows the artist even a little will know what happens next: through a play of crossing out, superimposed lines and doctored letters, the initially written word takes on another meaning and encourages all sorts of readings, excursions and detours. Like a comet, the letters zigzag through our thoughts. They move quickly, they hit the mark and are in keeping with the detached irony of the message delivered. Behind the apparent lightness of semantic interference, there is a seriousness that is barely acknowledged.<\/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-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-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-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;

Ainsi, contrairement \u00e0 ses photographies qui apostrophent l\u2019attention par des modes d\u2019association dou\u00e9s de sens et par une mise en sc\u00e8ne d\u2019aphorismes et autres jeux de langage, les toiles surprennent par une grande \u00e9conomie de moyens et par une syntaxe rythmique se limitant \u00e0 un seul mot. Dans la couleur fra\u00eeche, le peintre trace rapidement des lettres qui comportent un terme apparemment anodin. Qui conna\u00eet un peu l\u2019artiste n\u2019ignore pas la suite : par un jeu de biffage, de traits superpos\u00e9s et de lettres trafiqu\u00e9es, le mot initialement \u00e9crit prend un autre sens et incite \u00e0 toutes sortes de lectures, d\u2019excursions et de d\u00e9tours. En com\u00e8te, les lettres zigzaguent dans nos pens\u00e9es. Elles vont vite, elles touchent juste et s\u2019accordent avec l\u2019ironie d\u00e9tach\u00e9e du message d\u00e9livr\u00e9.
