PP36 XS9-The girl next door (17x21cm)

A large place is made in white on the paper to call the model’s skin and porcelain complexion. Red ink stains more or less diluted tending towards a controlled pink. Some discreet annotations with very fine lead, transcriptions of the oral exchanges between the painter and the model during the painting session. James writes the name of the model “Constance” in red ink, with a fine brush like musical notes that would escape from the space of the painting...

...During the PRESENCE PAINTING performance, James always makes a series of small drawings on paper with the still fresh paint from the MATRIX presence painting (200x170cm), here "PP36 - The girl next door"

Each paper feeds on the matrix, it updates the energy of the matrix in a new creation.
