In the "Interlaced Landscapes" series, Lancelot Blondeel aims his attention on the narrative aspect within an abstract artwork. In this particular series, the creation of an artwork involves three primary phases: composition, decomposition, and recomposition. Each canvas, before undergoing a cutting process, possesses a distinct identity as an abstract landscape or space (composition). Subsequently, this space is deconstructed, cut into strips of varying dimensions (decomposition). Finally, each canvas is reassembled using the lateral and horizontal strips from one or more cut canvases (recomposition). During the recomposition process, the strips are sometimes arranged in their original order, at times placed randomly, and often brought together by the artist's hand to convey his narrative. Furthermore, the spaces between the strips are considered breathing spaces, similar to the "white space" in music, where the viewer's mind fills the void by proposing its own narrative interpretation. The artist emphasizes that, in this context, the concept of landscape alludes to an abstract space, sharing with its figurative counterpart only the notions of gravity (sense of looking), the aesthetics of imbalance (in terms of positioning and the size of forms), and kinetics (sense of movement).

Lancelot Blondeel's second exhibition this year is held at Galerie 12, rue des Beaux-Arts in Paris, this show allowed him to be exhibited alongside renowned artists like Hans Hartung, Sol Lewitt, Georges Mathieu or Henri Michaux—a testament to the convergence of past and future in his artistic research. - "How to exist in the world?" This age-old question settled within Lancelot Blondeel during adolescence, creating a tension between the "self" and the external world. High school philosophy classes only exacerbated this, inundating him with new concepts beyond his grasp. This led to a disconnect from reality and a dichotomy between perception and substance. How do our senses interpret reality? Can we trust ourselves? Is our consciousness suited to understanding the external world? These feelings persisted through his engineering studies, though science provided some solace in its rational explanations of natural phenomena. Then, he stumbled upon the work of philosopher Clément Rosset's "The Real and Its Double," which articulated the torment he'd felt for years. Seeing his affliction named and theorized was reassuring, making him realize that it is the relationship between humans and reality animates him. Around the same time, he visited a retrospective exhibition dedicated to the Franco-Chinese painter Zao Wou-Ki. On that occasion, he experienced a profound aesthetic feeling, difficult to describe, similar to the fleeting opening of a breach to another reality. It was this experience that pushed him to experiment with painting for the first time. He began by working on cardboard and stretched canvases. He discovered concentrated dyes, including a blue of such intensity that he exclusively used that color for the next six months. Being a meticulous engineer, he sought to understand every step. Today, he exclusively works with raw materials such as canvas (cotton or linen), mediums, additives (pigments, texture agents), and varnishes. He practices washes, glazes, collage, and explores volume manipulation techniques. @lancelot.
