Jérôme Boutterin : reboot 1999-2022
Jérôme Boutterin often produces paintings that look unresolved. This is because he deliberately leaves something undiscovered or provisional. A closer look hints at something more. There is an element of chance that interrupts otherwise unified fields, leaving the paintings in a precarious balance. The viewer is offered an opportunity to disassemble and reassemble the painting in endless numerations. These are generous paintings. The artist approaches painting as a project that exhibits its strategies and performs painterly touch. Each series in this monograph argues for a way of being in the world.
