Grand Canyon

On the first painting, two human figures are standing in front of what could be the Grand Canyon in th USA. We don’t know much about them. Are they tourists? Are they men or women? Are they grown-up, teenagers or kids? We just don’t know. All we know is that they stand in front of a beautiful landscape made of flashy colours in a fauvism-expressionism style. On an very orange soil (sand ? rock ?) a bush and a lonely tree. Dark mountains seem menacing. The red sun in a yellow sky with pink-purple clouds is burning, giving the impression of strong heat. The cold blue colour of the two human figures clothes is the only thing on the painting that give us some freshness. On the second painting, the impression of heat isn’t so strong. It seems like the cold desert night is coming. The sky is darker, more purple. The river that violently separate the painting in two play the same role as the blue t-shirts on the first painting. Those two paintings have no special meanings. It’s more about feeling and immersion : the impression we have when we are in a very arid place. When we balance between the beauty of the place and this burning heat that manipulates our five senses.
