1991 - 1992 - Khoreia and Oenophilias

Khoreia 2 - 92 x 73 cm - huile sur toile -1991

The symbolic role of colour, material and gesture, the concision of the purpose, the technical rigour related to the Ancients, the freedom of framing, expression and themes make Nicolas Blin a painter who allies pictorial tradition with contemporary creation, as in the gesture of synthesizing a bare essential, wherein performs the complexity of human relationships.

In October 1991, the Rolf Wahl gallery presented a few paintings about dance and show (Khoreia and Perikhoreia), but also presented was the first Oenophilia that approached the themes of wine and togetherness.

Oenophilie 1 - détails

 
 

This work is based on the principle of the composite image: inside a figurative reading, an abstract non-figuration can create an imposed direction, way and meaning and, at certain stages, complementary and contradictory significance. The reader of the painting has to choose between the many possible interpretations.
 
 

Since then, Nicolas Blin has worked as a figurative as well as a non-figurative painter, in order to evoke ambiences where the human presence prevails. Even if the figurative side of the work is not descriptive but merely allusive, it is, in its extreme accuracy, enslaved to one unique goal : to suggest.
