reconstraction of a place

Ladie's Room (1989)

Few lines at coudal , have sent me to yet, to an other favorite place of mine, where Giornale Nuovo is talking about the French painter, sculptor and film-maker Charles Matton

L'ATELEIRS D'UNSCULPTEUR DE GROS 2006. Etude Torse en érection résine marbre devant une peinture

Giornale Nuovo tells about Matton that decided that he ‘wanted to paint Realist interiors in the manner of the “moderns,” that is, without wasting time on painstaking technical processes.’ He first thought of photographing friends’ and fellow-artists’ apartments and studios, (see the Atelier Francis Bacon and others} then painting over the resulting cibachrome prints, but at length settled upon an altogether different strategy: in small boxes he constructed detailed models of the interiors he had chosen to depict, and then carefully photographed those, eventually exhibiting the models together with the prints and paintings derived from them. Matton has continued with his ‘painstaking technical processes’ they require ever since. to view a large collection of verious series of Box works ( the BIBLIOTHEQUES series and many other amazing box works)
