The letter, instead of writing, affirms itself as a sign on the white page. But the gesture is what has been given to us to be read. The action of the body during the process of production adds a performative dimension to the painting. The gesture concentrates itself on the stain, no longer a trace in the wide and firm wake of the spatula. An accentuated material consistency confers the gesture a monumental appearance and erects it as a formal presence. The letters are chromatically isolated, like autonomous signs that have reached their limit. They are the plastic elements that organise and rhyme the composition, structuring it on an orthogonal grid where they adopt rotations and inversions, making an ample choice of combinations possible.
