Acrylic, pure gold leaf and sand. A sandy and shadow land in the nocturnal, on the contrary, is a smooth gold secretly shinning hanging in the upper sky, bordering on centripetal; it represents not an expression, but also the mystery of life. Black, the color of land, however has the same symbolic ambivalence as how our earth is born with, no doubt, visually speaking and recalling us the nature and a deep interior spirit of meditation. With this one major color, rich in all the others, Eric Pasture leads and tells his world, made up of momentum and restraint, shadows and clarity, impulses and rest. When the external light is flush with these fields of painting, it differs into infinite shades that never tire of our gaze. The colors are therefore not only the "exploits of light" as Goethe said: They are also the exploits of me. We use ourselves to adorn the world and we do it for us. But the artist's work is not confined to this monochrome with hints of glowing lava: he also invents other grainy, scintillating, rough supports, synonymous with deep earth, samples of the cosmos. Summarized on the screen of his work, these ocher, black or milky windows bear witness to the entire universe. Eric Pasture now allows himself a more playful abstraction made up of jets, flows, instantaneous projections, like an unapologetic Jackson Pollock. Materialist Abstraction Painting the Colors of Life In Eric Pasture's approach to materialist abstraction, his physical taste, almost artisanal for a material, is measured, a smooth paste spread, combed, smoothed, made silky like a tunic, or crushed, channeled, spread by the spatula which constrains it, bringing it back in flat areas, giving way to wet lips or delicate hems. Red, the color of fire and blood, however, has the same symbolic ambivalence as the latter, no doubt, visually speaking, depending on whether it is bright or dark. With this one major color, rich in all the others, the artist leads and tells his world, made up of momentum and restraint, shadows and clarity, impulses and rest. When the external light is flush with these fields of painting, it diffuses into infinite shades that never tire of our gaze. Eric Pasture's canvases provide us with some answers to this nagging question which remains as open as that of humanity: how to capture the colors of the world in a universal construction? In appearance, the real is full of colors, but the colors, in reality, do not exist. The ones we see depend on the light that the outside world directs towards our eyes, but the ideas of "red" are born only in the depths of our brain. The colors are therefore not only the "exploits of light" as Goethe said: They are also the exploits of me. We use ourselves to adorn the world and we do it for us.
