Tanguy TOLILA - Lot 26
Tanguy TOLILA Score 19052, 2022 Acrylic on music score Original work 26 x 33 cm Tracing paper, staff maps, music scores, book covers, sewing patterns, wrecked wood... Of all materials, Tanguy Tolila prefers those marked by their previous life. Sometimes a hundred years old, their ripe skin makes wrinkles that the artist cherishes. They serve as a framework, a guide. Each layer of juice plays the game, transparently revealing the signs of age. After the glaze comes the line, the true signature. Thicker or thinner, straight or curved, it stretches or breaks, crosses another, makes a turn, a pause, leaving the heart at peace. Tanguy Tolila is sensitive to the Bauhaus style of Mies Van der Rohe, an enemy of the superfluous. Graphic, almost geometric, the whole is "pure and hard", a kind of architecture built around elementary forms, never "soft" and always "in tension", with muted tones that "squeak". Occasionally, touches of yellow, orange, green or violet brighten up the gray of his grids, like confetti scattered on a sidewalk, or the sparkle of marble. This is undoubtedly the only whimsy of his sober art, full of delicacy towards second-hand objects, the fetish supports of his painting. Such is the case with these worn basketballs, fossils with cracks and stains akin to Claude Viallat's ectoplasms. Along with his "ladders", these "planets" are among the only known motifs in his sketchy system, where otherwise only rocks float on the horizon. We would like to thank the Galerie "Amelie Maison d'Art" for its participation in this sale.
