Fingerprints

My work as an artist is based on the figurative style and therefore often refers to an approach of sketching, sketches, preparatory work or drafting as some would say. This step allows you to immerse yourself in an idea or an experienced scene to enrich it and give it a unique dimension through the framing, its support or the emotion it generates.  

Recently, the direction of my work has taken into account the anecdotal dimension of disorder, that which creates in its own way additional daily tasks and which has sneakily taken its place in our lives in a recurring manner without appearing as obvious to eliminate. 

The constant search for comfort and increased security has grown so much that certain disorders are no longer even perceived as such and have become repetitive tasks with acceptance and diluted meaning. In my work, the bucket becomes the link... the tool... the unclassifiable vector of maintained disorder.  

Formerly made of wood surrounded by metal, the bucket is today made of zinc-plated sheet metal or plastic, but its primary function has always retained the role of transporting a material or providing the possibility of moving elements in relation to its capacity to facilitate an action. 

If I refer to the time of the Middle Ages, the wooden bucket was the perfect link which slipped from hand to hand to pour water onto a burning building, returning empty to resume its route once filled, with a regularity which bordered on efficiency. 

It is difficult to determine whether today such a practical application would have the same regularity and the same objectivity; the bucket which would have gained weight would become poorer in multiple itineraries, leaving room for a legitimized disorder, which reveals a disorder in agreement with individual postures. 

My current preparatory work focused on disorder, a term whose definition ranges from the absence of order to the absence of morality and including the lack of coherence and the absence of discipline, focuses on the singular postures inherited confusion, complication and destructuring. 

This work is essentially based on the observation of simple moments where the banality of certain disorders becomes a moment to be sublimated. Like the impertinence of an absurdity which is hidden in the gestures of everyday life and where the journey takes a relevant place in the unfolding.

The first part of this work is currently being studied and will be regularly presented here with the phases that make it up. The drafts, sketches and sketches of this evolution as well as the completed works will be shared in preview with people who follow me, so register without delay on my private contact list.

Alain Rouschmeyer

Alain Rouschmeyer is best known for his acrylic paintings on medium format canvas and his contemporary ink drawings. An observer of everyday life, he analyzes the human walk through the postures and spaces crossed, as if to probe the banal and capture its scent. His artistic itinerary invites him to work on architecture in which he likes to reflect on living spaces and the transversalities that define their uses. Like a poet-analyst, Alain Rouschmeyer's work navigates between reality and intimacy revealing attachment and detachment according to a conscious will. It explores the hidden dimension of everyday life which never ceases to challenge us like jazz music or warm blues. The romanticism of which he fully assumes the contemporary and timeless translation inhabits the support as an involved space.
