Fusions ardentes - REYKJAVIK
"Avec Fusions ardentes, titre donné à cette série centrée sur l’Islande, les peintures, plus géologiques, représentent la fusion entre la roche, la lave qui remonte vers le ciel, et la glace qui recouvre les volcans, comme un paradoxe constant. Cet oxymore sublime est magnifié par des contrastes de teintes et une monumentalité à laquelle Garo nous a désormais habitués. Vivante, la matière semble se défaire sous nos yeux, la terre s’ouvrir sur les cratères béants que l’artiste représente souvent en vue plongeante, afin de nous y aspirer dans un vertige fascinant. Une irrépressible envie s’empare alors du spectateur, celle de se fondre dans ces pâtes généreuses, de se noyer dans ces bleus et bruns aux infinies variations, de se plonger dans ces rochers incandescents d’où semblent émaner les âcres senteurs du soufre. La fascination pour les volcans, inféodée à la peur ancestrale que ces monstres antiques suscitaient chez nos ancêtres déjà, nous relie à nos origines culturelles, à ce respect profond pour les forces naturelles impossibles à maîtriser. Montagnes mystérieuses recelant le magma primordial, les volcans apparaissent dans les peintures de Garo comme les gardiens silencieux d’un passage dévoilé entre le monde des vivants et les entrailles souterraines."
