variations d’hiver
#1
Variation in music lies in the transformation of an element, revisited in different forms but always recognizable. Here, Art Brut serves as the element we will consider in its variety. For, let us recall, Art Brut knows no formal, historical, geographical, or cultural boundaries.
However, there is one constant: the fertile ground of mental or social otherness from which these works emerge. This extraordinary diversity of forms and modalities has the unique power to resonate with our own sense of otherness. Each variation becomes a key capable of unlocking something within us: Luboš Plný, with his poetic and cathartic anatomies. Joaquim Vicens Gironella and Pietro Ghizzardi, through Romanesque echoes and smoky flesh. Pascal Tassini, Yuichi Saito, and Rudolf Limberger, by their way of tying and untying. Raimundo Camilo and Zdeněk Košek, one a counterfeit coiner, the other a true redeemer. Josef Karl Rädler and James Edward Deeds, as clairvoyant witnesses to asylum life’s vicissitudes. Carlos Giraldo, Alexandro Garcia, and Jesuys Crystiano, summoners of unseen worlds and Michał Walczyk, through his baroque portraits. And finally, the great Zemánková, whose profound and supernatural charm imbues her compositions.
