QXO2/2 - La Montagne du 20.05.2010 2010

Jean-Francois Dubreuil made QXO2/2 - La Montagne du 20.05.2010 with its hard-edged lines and limited palette by following a process that almost feels like coding. The material aspects here, that slightly textured surface with its precise, flat colors, they give it a sense of order and structure, a bit like a carefully designed graphic. But it's the physical act of applying each stripe that brings the human element. Look at the way the lines intersect, forming those X shapes. The tension created where the red and green lines meet, it's not just a visual thing, it's emotional too. Each color seems to push against the other, creating a space that vibrates. It makes me think of someone like Agnes Martin, but with a playful, almost mathematical twist. It's this ambiguity that keeps us engaged.
