Everyday nature. Desire. Social reports. Art history and philosophy.
Profusion. Contagion. Superimposing. Landscaped interventions. Appositions
on the urban picture. Drawing on & off. Color in & out. Transparency.

Art desire and squalls…

The colored outlines affix, gather, tighten, are transformed in the hand, with the eye.

In this cursive imaging, the finishing line becomes confused with colored strips. Concentration, effort, limits, danger, road marking, contesting, distance…

The speed of his drawing and painting spells in the drunkenness of the immediate adventure. Aroused, the unconscious becomes pulsate. These tensions are manifested by his great pleasure of painting. He associate,
overlaps. The forms implode, hollow out; outlines are by-passed in the thickness of the line; everything rest visible (or becomes it again)

The spectator paints with his eyes, he tries to fill the forms which sometimes are dismissed to the mental process of remembering.

Without thinking carefully: the subject becomes sexual: Michiels re-personalizes such as in himself. The echo of the erotic representation transforms the libido into a sublime combination of flavours and colours.

The archetypes of the system, the social agreements become more radical, purify… roar the jubilation of the emptiness.

Total perplexity: the act to paint surpassed itself in its own functioning, sublimated in a new independent image: more true (?)

A plenitude aggravated nevertheless by the distortion of the act to draw,
by the contagion colored with the writing of the forms: so much and so that the hollowed out becomes evident.

(Ghislain Olivier)
