Untitled #15

2017

188 x 188 cm

Smoke, pigments, acrylic, canvas

 

In this series, Jean Boghossian explores the interaction betweenfire, smoke, and pigment. Fire, as an instrument of creation andtransformation, engages directly with the pictorial surface. Theforms appear to float, dissolve, or re-emerge, revealing a vibrant andorganic flow where smoke, present in subtle traces, becomes bothmark and breath. Pigment and Smoke on Acrylic on Canvas, explores the idea of genesis and cosmic formation through fire, smoke and pigment. Forms emerge slowly, carried by a primal energy that seems to bring matter to life. Between explosion and equilibrium, matter and light, the artist evokes the birth of a world, where every trace preserves the memory of the creative fire.
