Tangle of pianos where keyboards swirl between them to graphically create their own music.
Painting is for Christian Feltin the way to rediscover and re-dialogue with his roots, those of his Vietnamese maternal grandparents. He, who grew up in a Western environment and who readily calls himself a Vietnamese quadroon, today uses painting as a means of rediscovering and reclaiming this distant Asia which flows through his veins and colors his leaves and canvases with black, red and gold, these colors characteristic of Asian aesthetics, from lacquered furniture to calligraphy scrolls. An ancestral art which is omnipresent in his works and which he revisits by abandoning ink for acrylic painting. He then hollows out the signs of their scriptural function to develop their plasticity and graphic power and construct abstract architectures or give birth to flexible and aerial forms. We then think of Zao Wou Ki who also liberated calligraphy from writing, as well as Pierre Soulages who knew how to make black an incredible breeding ground of colors.
A variety of materials and textures which for Christian Feltin make painting a kind of “cooking” of the heart, instinctive and generous. And like any good self-respecting cook, his work is classified according to a nomenclature which is as rigorous as his painting is liberated. He likes to organize the great variety of his canvases and works on paper into a multitude of series whose deliberately abstract and almost scientific terminology is intended not to influence the viewer.
