Arnaud L. Vidricaire's approach revolves around a daily creative ritual in two stages: automatic
writing and the creation of forms that reflect this act of writing. Once the exercise is complete,
the artist is left only with the gestures and the dance of the lines generated automatically, which
become increasingly abstract over time, leaving only the title as a reminder of the emotions
experienced.
This indecipherable writing, or these scribbles, serves as the starting point for his aesthetic
exploration. Transforming into lines and random movements, these forms reveal the artist's
vulnerability while creating a deliberate opacity that protects him from a certain intimacy with
both others and himself. From these creations, the tangibility of feelings manifests through the
rhythm and gesture of the lines, producing a poetry that emerges from the inability to fully
access the intimate.
The artist merges contemporary technological tools, such as drawing software and laser cutting,
with traditional methods like painting and burning. This combination creates a paradox: from
hyper-precision arises an act of surrender. Materializing in the form of lines, his emotions
escape and float before us, free and autonomous.
