Ludovic Dervillez
Ludovic Dervillez’s work is driven by rhythm, energy and improvisation as he paints on several canvases simultaneously, moving from one to the other, turning them over, completing them, searching for a point of balance over time.
To Ludovic painting, especially abstraction, is the most immediate way to express internal tensions and emotions, which he projects onto the canvas by mixing both energy and restraint. Each painting is an experiment, nothing is decided in advance and the artist has no idea what will happen. Dervillez doesn’t make any studies beforehand and to finalize a work according to a predetermined plan is not part of his approach.
Ludovic paints in a jerky manner under the influence of impulsivity, which initially guides the orientation of the compositions. He starts with light stains thrown on the canvas then come the sharp lines and touches of colour which are scattered here and there. Each action leads to another, creating a permanent back and forth punctuated by pauses and rapid interventions.
