Christian Floquet

Born in 1961 in Geneva, he lives there.

Throughout his pictorial work, which is inspired by the language of geometric abstraction, this Swiss artist casts his eye on the relations between space and plane, form and colour. His pictures, be they rectangular or square, invariably with just two colours, play on the recurrence of one and the same motif. Fragmented coloured spaces, exploded asymmetrical figures, absence of references, and hierarchization of planes are the recurrent data informing his work.

What are you presenting for le Printemps de septembre?

Five large recent paintings, between geometric abstraction and sensitive surface...

What does the festival’s subtitle “Here where I am doesn’t exist” mean to you?
I like it a lot.. It could be the title for a work. We’re in the realm of the signified here, in mental, abstract space.
