\n Gr\u00e9gory Valentin est un artiste fran\u00e7ais n\u00e9 en 1977. Architecte de formation, son travail de cr\u00e9ation plastique s\u2019ouvre par un cycle o\u00f9 la litt\u00e9rature tient une place centrale. Les grands textes que choisit l\u2019artiste sont bien plus qu\u2019une mati\u00e8re premi\u00e8re exploit\u00e9e \u00e0 des fins de cr\u00e9ation. Ils deviennent, dans la diversit\u00e9 de leur restitution, des sources de r\u00e9flexion quant \u00e0 leur pr\u00e9sence, \u00e0 leur fragilit\u00e9, \u00e0 leur p\u00e9rennit\u00e9 dans notre soci\u00e9t\u00e9.\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dans la s\u00e9rie de tableaux especedelivre<\/em>, Gr\u00e9gory Valentin reproduit dans leur enti\u00e8ret\u00e9 des \u0153uvres litt\u00e9raires dont l\u2019universalit\u00e9 se double d\u2019un rapport intime \u00e0 son propre parcours. Commenc\u00e9e avec Le Horla<\/em>, de Maupassant, la s\u00e9rie explore les implications d\u2019une qu\u00eate consistant \u00e0 faire de la litt\u00e9rature une \u0153uvre plastique.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chaque tableau se pr\u00e9sente d\u2019abord comme une abstraction, laquelle offre \u00e0 l\u2019interpr\u00e9tation un champ des possibles. Cette abstraction, pr\u00e9face \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9veil d\u2019une \u00e9motion, invite \u00e0 s\u2019approcher du tableau : le texte est l\u00e0, d\u2019un seul tenant, aux confins de la lisibilit\u00e9, dans une \u00e9conomie de moyens et pourtant minutieusement compos\u00e9 selon des r\u00e8gles dict\u00e9es par le format et par l\u2019artiste, transpos\u00e9 mais pr\u00e9serv\u00e9 du travestissement<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gr\u00e9gory Valentin is a French artist born in 1977. Trained as an architect, his work in plastic creation unfolds through a cycle where literature holds a central place. The significant texts chosen by the artist are much more than raw material exploited for the purpose of creation. They become, in the diversity of their representation, sources of reflection regarding their presence, fragility, and permanence in our society.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the series of paintings titled \u00ab\u00a0especedelivre,\u00a0\u00bb Gr\u00e9gory Valentin faithfully reproduces entire literary works, which combine universality with an intimate connection to his own journey. Initiated with Maupassant’s \u00ab\u00a0Le Horla,\u00a0\u00bb the series explores the implications of a quest to transform literature into a plastic artwork.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Each painting initially presents itself as an abstraction, offering a realm of possibilities for interpretation. This abstraction, a prelude to the awakening of emotion, invites one to approach the painting: the text is there, uninterrupted, at the edges of legibility, in an economy of means, yet meticulously composed according to rules dictated by the format and the artist. It’s transposed but preserved from distortion.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
