Falls

16X23 cm

Oil on canvas

2007-2009

 

The painter's last paintings. In medium formats, the bodies become more diaphanous and lighter in this masterful final series. The obsession with passage is part of the ascending movements that speak of disappearance in flight.

 

2001-2004

 

This series of 110 small formats begins in 2001. The obsession with falling takes on even more meaning after September 11: a man throws himself from one of the twin towers. Always closely linked to the intimate resonances of History, Roland Buraud will work on this series from scraps of canvases that were not retained. This series will be exhibited in 2005, during the year of France in China, at the Tianjin museum.
