Guin Amant is the son of a pilot and talented archer, so is familiar with space and
emptiness. He reveals to us that shooting arrows is not a game of skill, for the
target is only a destination. It is the journey through time and space that truly
matters. The synchronicity of the taught bow and the arrow's extension of the
body in a concentration of forces is what his work is about.
The artist does not work from an easel. He stretches his canvas
on the floor and walks around it. Successive layers of paint
are applied with brushes or bare hands to penetrate the thickness
of the material. After experimenting with video in the current
trend of young artists, he returned to paint to explore the qualities
of material that would allow him to express himself without limitation.
Because life is a journey, because every being remains unique
despite experience and
multiplicity, the artist feels compelled to work in series and
order to explore the phenomenon commonly regarded as the course
of time.
