Dialogue: 0,0:00:25.18,0:00:27.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,THOMAS DESCHAMPS, artist-painter
Dialogue: 0,0:00:31.91,0:00:34.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is the place where I paint,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:34.46,0:00:37.25,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,my atelier near Montreuil.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:37.25,0:00:40.47,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I usually arrive in the morning,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:40.47,0:00:43.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I set everything up. I set my canvas.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:44.78,0:00:47.73,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I always follow my little ritual:
Dialogue: 0,0:00:47.76,0:00:50.65,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I get in, I turn on the music.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:50.65,0:00:53.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Usually, I put on jazz because
Dialogue: 0,0:00:53.07,0:00:56.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it gives a nice feeling when painting,
Dialogue: 0,0:00:56.08,0:00:59.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as it has a lot of rhythm and is not too aggressive.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:01.01,0:01:04.55,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So, this is what I call my laboratory.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:24.17,0:01:27.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,What gives me a thrill when I'm painting
Dialogue: 0,0:01:27.52,0:01:31.20,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,is the contrasts, composition, colors
Dialogue: 0,0:01:31.20,0:01:33.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and also the shape.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:33.44,0:01:35.23,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Considering this, one can think that
Dialogue: 0,0:01:35.24,0:01:37.37,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,there is an unbalance in my paintings
Dialogue: 0,0:01:37.37,0:01:39.83,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,but actually it is the dichotomy
Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.83,0:01:43.56,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in creating balance in something that is unbalanced.
Dialogue: 0,0:01:51.29,0:01:54.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I always follow this idea where I see myself
Dialogue: 0,0:01:54.52,0:01:57.71,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,as an aerialist with a pendulum,
Dialogue: 0,0:01:57.71,0:02:01.39,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,asking myself a question:
Dialogue: 0,0:02:01.39,0:02:03.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,why I put the stroke here and not there
Dialogue: 0,0:02:03.51,0:02:07.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and how to counter-balance it.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:15.40,0:02:21.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,In my paintings, the main leitmotiv is the nexus,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:21.58,0:02:24.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,because it's a fundamental element of our society.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:24.89,0:02:29.27,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It makes each one of us linked to one another,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:29.27,0:02:31.70,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,sometimes the string is invisible,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.70,0:02:34.72,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,for example, my pants or my t-shirt,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.72,0:02:37.07,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it had to be created by someone,
Dialogue: 0,0:02:37.08,0:02:39.18,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,so it means that there was a human hand involved
Dialogue: 0,0:02:39.18,0:02:41.52,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,in the process of making it at some point.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:41.57,0:02:43.90,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And with this invisible string we are all connected.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:44.06,0:02:47.02,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It can be in virtual networks or
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.05,0:02:52.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,highway systems or even your address book's network.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:52.09,0:02:57.12,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,It's an essential factor of our society.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:57.40,0:03:01.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,At the same time, by playing with perspectives,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:01.64,0:03:05.88,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,by interweaving and juxtaposing them,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:05.88,0:03:11.46,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it creates an optical illusion and gives a distorted vision of them.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:11.46,0:03:16.79,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Since we are coming towards a crucial moment, a time of changes,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:16.79,0:03:21.74,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,we are in the middle of this distorted perspective of the future
Dialogue: 0,0:03:21.74,0:03:23.87,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and in the middle of questioning:
Dialogue: 0,0:03:23.87,0:03:27.01,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,will the future lead to something or
Dialogue: 0,0:03:27.01,0:03:31.48,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,are we heading towards a major mutation and
Dialogue: 0,0:03:31.48,0:03:35.04,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,a breakdown in evolution of our society?
Dialogue: 0,0:03:35.22,0:03:39.64,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because right now we are facing an economic crisis
Dialogue: 0,0:03:39.64,0:03:42.22,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and also an ecological crisis.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.22,0:03:44.89,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,These two problems can't be avoided much longer
Dialogue: 0,0:03:44.89,0:03:48.19,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and we'll soon be forced to resolve them.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:48.19,0:03:50.11,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,This is the reason why, in my paintings,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:50.11,0:03:52.43,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,one can get lost in these perspectives,
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.43,0:03:54.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,navigate through these lines of force
Dialogue: 0,0:03:54.96,0:03:57.24,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and at the same time get a strong feeling of obstruction.
Dialogue: 0,0:03:57.24,0:04:00.08,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Somehow with these two aspects,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:00.08,0:04:03.96,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where the first one is optimistic,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:03.96,0:04:08.29,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and is represented by the bright, "pop" colors,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:08.29,0:04:11.92,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,\Nwhich is happy and linked to the childhood
Dialogue: 0,0:04:11.92,0:04:18.60,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where there is a great hope for renewal and transmutation.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:18.85,0:04:24.21,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And on the other side, there is the horizon that is
Dialogue: 0,0:04:24.21,0:04:26.44,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,blocked by the lines of force that can also entrap.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.80,0:04:32.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And the viewer can feel being in between these two aspects.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:40.68,0:04:43.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,For me, an artist's atelier is a real laboratory
Dialogue: 0,0:04:43.31,0:04:46.97,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,where there is a constant research, in painting, in my case,
Dialogue: 0,0:04:50.27,0:04:54.41,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and this is what for is the most exciting.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:54.41,0:04:58.09,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The research, perpetual exploration of grounds
Dialogue: 0,0:04:58.09,0:05:00.33,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,to define my universe, find the paths
Dialogue: 0,0:05:03.07,0:05:07.31,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,and through these paths bringing out the emotions.
Dialogue: 0,0:05:07.71,0:05:11.58,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And and the end, when I create my paintings,
Dialogue: 0,0:05:11.58,0:05:14.85,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,it's all those emotions that I have lived and absorbed
Dialogue: 0,0:05:14.85,0:05:19.50,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,that do something that after several sketches
Dialogue: 0,0:05:19.51,0:05:25.10,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I start to paint and I arrive to this final result...
