Message, ou non message ?
Une œuvre d’art en noir et blanc, sur papier et sur un mur. Une question se pose à son sujet : Est-elle purement graphique et ludique ou bien porte-t-elle un sens qu’il faut découvrir ? Certaines répétitions de motifs pourraient laisser penser à une écriture et à un texte caché... mais ne serait-ce pas un leurre imaginé par l’artiste pour que le spectateur ait le désir de chercher sans rien trouver d’autre que la contemplation longue, répétée et attentive de l’œuvre. Une manière pour l’artiste de capturer le spectateur sans qu’il s’en rende compte.
Chercher, même sans rien trouver, n’est-ce pas progresser ?
