Biography
Emmanuel Lesgourgues was born in 1974, he lives and works in Paris.
A graduate of the Ecole Camondo, he is a designer and interior architect by training.
After a career in interior architecture and teaching, he became exhibition curator and director of the Quasar endowment fund, a contemporary art collection which houses 1,600 works by 92 French artists since the 1980s. He is also vice-president of the art venue La Tannerie in Begard, Brittany.
His plastic work develops mainly around drawing, declining organic themes, fertile or modified cellular universes, through random, geometric patterns and a sensitive research on color. Dense, complex forms emerge from his creations, forming a sexual and vegetal universe in full metamorphosis.
He also produces series of photographs and videos playing on points of view. In public places, monuments, shopping centers or in transport: slowed down, views from the ground and a lens placed towards the sky or below, his images re-sensitize us to the way of soaking up a space or raising awareness instant.
Artistic approach
Since July 2018, he has been creating drawings exclusively on a digital tablet.
The approach is similar to that of traditional drawing: the stylus replaces the pencil, the screen the paper. On the other hand, the sensations of touch differ greatly in the relationship to the surface, as well as the relationship of the drawing to the space. The encounter with the format constituted by the screen initiates a new creative protocol. Indeed, on the tablet the drawing can never be visible in its entirety, that is to say as it will appear in its printed format. The visual artist therefore defines the format of the final drawing in advance and extrapolates, throughout the work, the result to the print scale. It does this by zooming back and forth across the tablet window. He thus navigates between different scales, within the limits of the screen format. In the continuous discrepancy between projection and reality, an apparent absence of direct link with its final representation and the feeling of a drawing out of context are felt.
The artist also experiences the feeling of getting lost in the space of the drawing within the drawing, of crossing the screen and of escaping the limits of the format.
The use of this medium, by establishing new relationships, opens up the pleasure of dynamic creation, the experience of an evolving design continuum.
“What matters to me is not so much asking where we are going as trying to live with the material. »
Emmanuel Lesgourgues' stylus could be guided by this assertion by Henri Matisse. Because it is the material, alive, which is at the heart of his creative process. The obsessive, spasmodic repetition of motifs wants to express the idea of an evolving matter, like the cells of living organisms.
“I apprehend drawing as a laboratory of discoveries and curiosities”. Its syntax calls for random writing, a non-voluntary construction, where the image is self-constructed, a veritable graphic mitosis. Cell fusion explores new worlds.
