ERIK DESPREZ | ORDER & SENSUOUSNESS

Firstly, my work is not an expression of intent or purpose. I believe, rather, in the dynamism of a certain ambiguity, which, far from the iconographic illustration of inquiry, generates more of a tension and fumbling, may cause doubt and error, but engenders, above all, the surprise accompanying a budding piece.

In this way — like wandering — even if my gesture is not completely exempt of certain directives on my part, above all, I search for the feeling and poetry in the act of painting. Order and sensuousness are therefore simply significant of the ways in which I physically and technically approach my paintings.
