    Woodkid folded me into his world when he chose my Woodkid folded me into his world when he chose my painting, “To Pause,” for the cover of his & Louis Garrel’s single, ‘L’aérogramme de Los Angeles’. I am eternally grateful that painting—a solitary act—has continually brought me into communion with humans I admire and adore.
    It was more than a crush—it was reverence for th It was more than a crush—it was reverence for the opening of my heart, reverence for man-as-fountain: as water, as basin, as spout. What does it mean to paint a portrait of water? Rocks and reflections only, the substance inferred. I worked again in minerals, in a very small range of tones, tuning my touch. Reference image = a video still from Sufjan Stevens’ “Pleasure Principle” This painting is available for purchase directly on my website, link in bio. It is the last available mineral pigment portrait from the series. Sufjan 30 x 40 cm shungite, quartz, hematite, and oil on linen
    The times that painting brought me into conversati The times that painting brought me into conversation, are the times I best understood why I painted ♾️ I never intend to be an enigma, just the pages of my open book are unnumbered. @hellomr folded me into their vellum wings for issue no. 8, and provided space for free association, recall, and reticulation. Even though this was years ago, the generousness of their engagement feels as fresh and proximal as summer rain. Thank you @ryanfitzgibbon and @fransquishco for your trust, care, and curiosity. Selection from the original 16-page feature here. I’ll post the rest to my stories over the coming days. photos by @jonas_lindstroem text by @fransquishco Hello Mr Magazine, no. 8
    When you paint skin, you realize it’s as faceted When you paint skin, you realize it’s as faceted and brilliant as a diamond. The last paintings I did—before taking a four year break from 2020-24—were portraits. I used highly translucent mineral pigments from @kremerpigmente , such as malachite, azurite, thulite, fuchsite, jade, and rock crystal, to create a sort of crystalline mist for light to bounce around in. Because of their translucency*, some areas required up to 17 layers of glazing to take on a noticeable hue. These portraits were meditative and reverent studies, made during a time of global halting. It saddens me that the only time we stop is when we’re forced to. I dream of an intentional, collective pause: a total rhythmic reset, the overturning of mechanical hums with natural song. May every painting be a portal into this pace, and every pace a step deeper into realization. *more opaque pigments helped define the darks and highlights, such as genuine cinnibar for the lips, ochres for the shadows, and shungite for the eyes “Moon” 40 x 30 cm oil on linen 2020 This painting is sold, but one portrait from this series is still available on my website.
    We were once continuous, then cleaved by time into We were once continuous, then cleaved by time into cliffs: separate inter-faces. Now we stand as sentinels of the schism, eroding ourselves to mineralize new potential. Reunion—collapsing into each other—would mean extinction of the world between our lines... So we frame instead of fold into the picture, we reveal instead of overwrite the space. Time sculpts us still, softening profiles, hardening resolve. When the last grain dissolves, we’ll reunite as a new aspect, a new parallel, a new point. 𝗜 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗸𝗻𝗼𝘄 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿.

    The silver lining of a melting world, is the thawi The silver lining of a melting world, is the thawing of our own hearts. Sometimes I catch myself wanting to walk away from everything. Wanting to drift like the powder that lifts off the tips of white-capped mountains. But I’ve done that before already. It’s lonely. It’s fleeting. You rise and then get eaten by the sun, and precipitate back down, at the mercy of everything that possesses the will to run. No. I will not trade in my wholeness for a particulate. I will not fix—or fix myself to—this landscape. I will only will myself to the vortex of the heart, the force that warms but doesn’t burn; that instils and inspires the world to take on form; that circulates, balances, and renews life constantly, continuously, holistically. I am more vulnerable now than I have ever been. I also feel stronger now than I have ever felt before. I know this is the Love that everyone talks about, but few truly embody. I am ready to feel more, so that I can be more, for the seeds of wholeness taking root in me. “Snow or Sky, Heart or Sun, What Now Begins and What Has Already Begun?” 70x70 cm Oil on linen
    Flowers are like little suns to my eyes. Sometimes Flowers are like little suns to my eyes. Sometimes it takes me an hour to get to my studio (it’s just down the street), because I stop at each flower and wait for it to glisten. A Flower Is a Cup of Light 60 x 50 cm Oil on linen
    The sky began as an expanse between your arms— The sky began as an expanse between your arms— so again, when darkness comes. — years and years and years ago I had the thought (but lacked the impression) to light all my figures from within. I wanted to invert shadows, to supplant the “cast” of an environment, with the causal effects we have on it. Here it is, now, by older/first hands, hands that have held fire, wrists that will hinge portals. Signal the Eyes to Open Like Skies 124 x 125 cm Oil on linen After a very long break, I am coming into my own again; I am sounding over and over, “thresholder, thresholder, thresholder...”
    There Is a Land I Can See 105 x 105 cm Oil on line There Is a Land I Can See 105 x 105 cm Oil on linen “There is a land I can see It’s where I long to be! Where the rivers run swiftly And carry your soul to the farthest star. There is a land that I know Where I’ve lived long ago Oh! strong comes the voice of the wild-hearted lover Who is calling to me! He says there’s a land of the sun! Where all men may come, Oh! it’s not easy to win It can fade like the spring dew That runs through your hands. Come with me tonight! Now the young moon is bright, You can feel the earth spinning Down pathways of starlight that dazzle your sight There is a land I can see!” – “Songs of the Quendi Medley” by Sally Oldfield
    What if everything standing, every stem, every bon What if everything standing, every stem, every bone, was more like a seam than a form on its own? Spring is twisting up and unfurling out all around me. Every moment shimmers with ephemeral, transitional arrangements. The same forces that inspire all these flirtatious counterpoints of shape, act on us too. How do they feel and look like to you? Counterspace Bouquet 135 x 135 cm oil on linen I've made the Canvas Edition available as well on my Studio Weseeclearly website (link in bio). The last two images are how the surface and edges look.

    A painting has six faces, but most of us know only A painting has six faces, but most of us know only one... What stories do its edges tell? 1. This is a print
2. And so is this
3. And so is this ♾️ I had the idea to reproduce the edges of my paintings on canvas prints, and the results were phenomenally good. It’s a painstaking process to photograph and edit but, honestly, I can’t imagine offering any other kind of print now. Paintings are meant to be lived with, as artifacts, companions, resonators, witnesses. This is how I can really begin to offer that. Four recent paintings are now available as Canvas Editions on my website (direct link in profile), and I will add one for every future piece. 
Please let me know in the comments if there’s a specific painting you’d like to see there 🙏🤲 . . . . . . #artpractice #studiopractice #contemporarypainting #painting #traditionalart #artists #prints #museum #gallery #artcollector #home #arttherapy #symbolism #weseeclearly
    The Light Had to Witness Itself 142 x 135 cm oil o The Light Had to Witness Itself 142 x 135 cm oil on linen Only read below if you want more context. The image is also complete by itself. — I’ve always felt a deep inner response to early art (pre-Renaissance) and art from outside the Western canon. It is often non-perspectival, isometric, symbolic, or inverted: it suspends my I-ness for a brief moment, until inevitably remembered. Meanwhile, The Western canon of painting developed the rules of visual perspective to control the gaze, through uniting with it. Photos, films, games insist they are us even more, entraining with our emotions through the transference of self-identification. “The Light Had to Witness Itself” holds space for a subjectivity that, for once, isn’t ours. The looking glass reflects only space, no face. We want to look into its eyes and be recognized, but that is not the want of this moment. This is the world I paint from. This is the space I hold. There is no pressure here to conform to a single perspective. There is space for each of us to exist among other selves. . . . . . . #artpractice #studiopractice #contemporarypainting #painting #traditionalart #landscape #sky #nature #color #light #freedom #insight #inspiration #symbolism #philosophy #perspective #contemplation #weseeclearly
    What my mom saw when I showed her this: “A flowe What my mom saw when I showed her this: “A flower or a lollipop or a kid... Circles, squares, and squiggles! It has everything.” Then my dad chimed in, “I see an eclipse.”
 Shapes hold so much information, personal and universal. Every time I work out a composition, I feel internally reordered—simultaneously more full to give, and empty to receive. I hope that my paintings continue to inspire interpretations, and please know I am always always always open to them. It brings me incredible joy, truly. “Radii” Mixed media 2024 . . . . . . #contemporaryart #painting #oiloncanvas #oilpainting #kunst #dailyart #botanical #design #palette #art #artwork #gallery
    “Spring Is Awakening” I’m pretty sure I inv “Spring Is Awakening” I’m pretty sure I invoked a dragon. What started as a doodle on a letter turned into this. Pretty different from anything I’ve done before, but also feels like a bridge. Wishing everyone a magical start to this year of the Wood Dragon (aka Dragon of Blossom Rites and Lavender Flames). She only comes around every 60 years! — Some words on the process: Mixed Media + iPad

I used bits and pieces of old paintings to create the abstract foliage, and then digitally drew in the dragon(/Suanni). I find the textures and details extremely satisfying, and will be exploring this alongside my oil painting practice. 1. Full print 2. Detail 3.

 I’ve known Youenn for years now and we both left our shorelines for the sea. Returning *is* infinitely more than what _was_ before the journey. I’m so grateful for the chance to reflect, and integrate, and for the gorgeous creations of the beings I love, and share this life with. 🙏 Thank you @youenn.rohaut for creating the opportunity. 1. 🖼️ 2. detail shot 3. detail shot 4. detail shot 5. excerpt from the opening track “Black Sea” (vid from a trip to Ireland) . . . . . . #reflections #water #tradmusic #oilpainting #contemporarypainting #contemporaryart #figurativeart #landscape #bretagne #brittany #celtic #sea #ocean #contemplation #mindfulness #peace #painting #weseeclearly #youennrohaut
    The Blossom Is Always There, Even Before It Breaks The Blossom Is Always There, Even Before It Breaks Through the Air 90 x 40 cm oil on handwoven linen I do not paint to capture moments, because I do not believe that moments can be kept. What differentiates the seed from the stone is the inevitability of a blooming. It is a life-code, an unchanging constant, a script that generates infinite performances and permutations. Bright, unfurling life, doesn’t end at the cutting of a stem, or the turn of a season. I have never identified with that. For this reason, my paintings don’t have narrative hooks, though I’m open if people see that in them. I just tend to my fields of color, and hope that life chooses to take root in them. . . . . . . #artpractice #studiopractice #contemporarypainting #traditionalart #floral #botanical #nature #color #colortherapy #lotus #goethe #light #permaculture #growth #inspiration #blossom #blue #lily #anthroposophicalart #biodynamic #symbolism #weseeclearly
    The most splendid things happen where colors meet. The most splendid things happen where colors meet. For me it’s like a portal, opening.

    Affirm, Deny, Reconcile 50 x 30 cm oil on linen N Affirm, Deny, Reconcile 50 x 30 cm oil on linen Neutrality is not the middle between two extremes. It rules its own axis. It upholds dimensionality. True neutrality can never be occupied or polarized, because it is the arena encompassing all sides. It is ordering, it is presencing, it is susbstantive, it is the 95% of this universe that must be, even though we can’t see. 2024 can be just another year, or it can be a portal: the difference comes in fixating on the frame, or stepping over the threshold. For you, which will it be? I encoded all this into a painting. Title references the Gurdjieff work.

I’m naturally left handed, and my right arm is growing in confidence and strength every day. The compositional symmetry is purposefully organic, not mechanical.
