Original RECTOVERSION^®, HISTORY (continued)

The minimalist rupture (1988-1992).

Minimalist period with exacerbated questionning of the back. The back is as if snatched away forced onto display at the same time as the front (around 1988).

(view of both sides) Still hung on the wall but in a new way, that is to say in a perpendicular fashion. The two sides can be seen. There is neither front nor back. The sculptural aspect is marked. The base offers a central part which is on the point of rotating but piercing is not yet a feature (around 1990).

The central part of the base rocks and lets the vacuum pass. There is piercing but the unit cannot be described as two-dimensional (around 1990).

(view of both sides) the painting, located in space, is almost two-dimensional but there is still some relief (around 1990).

(view of both sides) "rectoversé monochrome" is the prototype of "Rectoversion",considered both as the many plastic experiments which set to its birth and as its true starting point. There is neither front, nor back and each side is the reverse of the other. This reversible nature of each side in relation to the other will not be included in "rectoversé" paintings that follow (around 1991-92).
