Second phase of the movement Figuration supranaïve

Perpendicular conjunction of the passages :

 We assert that passage of the figure over the rectangular format is in a perpendicular conjunction with the second passage through  the canvas  ( in two dimensions) by the target symbolizing tunnel effect.

 At the start of 2005, we published  the first assertions of Supranaive Figuration to Internet. Two years later, the movement enters in a second phase, adding a new concept to the previous ones. (April 2007 )

We firstly asserted :  While “ declaring” space, the passage of the figure over the rectangular format expresses third dimension without using perspective.

We add to the first passage of the figure a second one by target to tunnel effect.

To understand this new concept requires to call  to mind  Kenneth Noland ‘s targets  implying  the idea of the passage by tunnel effect i.e  a passage through the canvas towards “another universe” ( conceptually speaking and in scientific anticipation).

Scientists would demontrate tunnel effect with spiral example Target is pictorial representation of spiral in only two dimensions; It is a way to express depth without recourse to perspective

Supranaive Figuration applies this concept to figuration.

In both pictorial processes we newly  express passage of the figure into  “another universe”by means of tunnel effect target  from which figure is passing  “through” the canvas.

In Georges Koutsandréou‘ s  new  painting  tunnel effect targets are oval . Rotating speed  of tunnel is added by unevennes of ellipsoïdal rings..

In Martina Charbonnel’s  new artworks,    tunnel effect targets are rectangular. Her recent paintings represent  a detail of  center of target. Difference of colours  between the epicentre and  the target sides is showing different consistencies of tunnel walls.

In both cases, there is a perpendicular conjunction of  figural passage over the format  with passage “ going inland” ( by tunnel effect target ) through the canvas ( the format).

That perpendicular conjunction over  and through the rectangular format is  a fundamantal assertion, which never has been applied into painting not even  in abstract.
