Richard LAILLIER (born 1961). Forced Camber, 2011. Eraser on - Lot 185
Richard LAILLIER (born 1961). Forced Camber, 2011. Eraser on black pencil, 9.5 x 13.5 cm. Signed on the back on the board. Signed and dated on the back. 2012 Sade Prize, document category. "It starts with a big white space. The sheet of paper. This white, Richard Laillier attacks it with sandpaper, he sands it, makes it less smooth, more receptive. Then, with the black stone, a kind of very dry and matt charcoal, reduced to powder, he blackens. With large circular gestures, using a cloth, the black material cancels the white of the paper. Total blackout. It is only in a third time that Laillier will make emerge forms and tracings of the paper, with the help of an eraser. He removes the black, digs, returns to the white, which was always there, hidden. This technique, similar to that of dark matter in engraving, has been practiced for decades by Richard Laillier (1961), who lives and works in Paris. The blacks are deep, the matter dense and voluptuous. The whites are only memories, they take on shades of gray, beige, smoke. " http://galerie-audrey-marty.com/richard-laillier/
