Automatism
The work questions the artist’s place in the creative process by entrusting part of the pictorial gesture to a natural force: the wind. Set in motion by air currents, the brush produces unpredictable marks, turning the wind into a true actor and letting nature complete the work. The wind acquires a handwriting of its own.
By symbolically abandoning his brush to the wind, the artist ultimately raises an essential question: who is really the author of the work — the one who devises the apparatus, or the natural force that produces the gesture?
