Mathieu Valade artist

This is a huge sign with the word "Fuck Off". The idea was to find out how, unlike abstract expressionism, it would be possible to make a concrete, clearly readable and recognizable expressionism. The idea here was to write a proposition that would be universally recognized as a form of expressionism. A curse that is present in all cultures. The letters are in volume, which gives the written proposition a sculptural value, although the project is presented in the form of a video and a photo series. To enhance the expressive character, the letters were set on fire. The video shows the burning of the sculpture, on a black background, in slow motion, with a sustained soundtrack once again emphasizing the expressive character.
