Gilles Balmet

Untitled ( Rorschach ) is a series of paintings inspired Jackson Pollock 's dripping paintings and by the psychodiagnostic test of Rorschach which uses black symmetrical dots interpretations to compose a diagnostic. Here, the paintings are created on the floor with a pre folded canvas method, like a fan in paper. After that preparatory state, Gilles Balmet creates a complex web of black painting dripped on the pre-folded canvas and re folded it completly to transfer the painting on each sides on the vertical stripes. The result is an unfolded and complex web spread all over the surface of the canvas where everyone can project his interpretations on the anthropomorphic elements which appears with a new symmetrical and repeated order. The viewer can also play with the lines that belong to the first all over dripping of painting and which has been modified and interrupted several times to create new vertical and symmetrical ramifications.
