The Slap

Indian ink and watercolor on paper

113 x 113 cm

I started this piece with the desire to slap someone I admire. Sometimes you want to give a Slap to someone, but not a violent one, not a unpleasant one. A really nice and powerful Slap ! Sometimes a Slap can be good, it can give you energy and make you feel alive. Sometimes you can even Slap someone without knowing you Slapped them. This Square of Flowers of Joy, describe a really nice and respectful but Strong Slap. The feeling that’s The Slap can give is : Where’s the floor and where am I ? Am I still on earth, and do I properly think the idea of earth ? However I took great care to ensure the Flowers were balanced and the Blue was distributed evenly : The slap must be kept within a totally solid and perfect structure ; if it’s not, there’s no respect, and therefore there’s no possibility of creating a Slap. It's something you can see in sports: respect, rules and a strong framework bring the energy of humans into a powerful moment : It Slaps. Delivering a slap in a respectful manner requires a lot of work and attention; sometimes, a slap can conceal years of hard work. Details of the piece : If you look closely at the red line of the slap's movement, you can see lots of little sparks, like those you see when you light a match. Receiving a slap can provide pleasant sensations and improve blood circulation. A Slap can be a direct access to a new Dimension.
