Samuel Dallé never ceases to question the rules of the academy that guided his first steps as an artist. His painting questions the future of Man, anguished and transformed in the mind, where machines, computers and wires dominate… As if to integrate the utilitarian object into a balanced, fairy-tale harmony, these works, marked by darkly contoured drawing, animate a super structure. This work seems to question man’s quest for freedom and expansion, and his intimate relationship with the city. A time of electronics and communication that erases Man, turning him into a black silhouette in favor of the color of time. This is not a question of disparate acts, but rather of redefining man’s place in the world around him, by subjecting him to the prisms that govern societal life today. Here, anguish and hope intermingle to give birth to an energy that reads, deciphers and draws the area of time. The artist questions man’s relationship with himself and the world around him. The future of mankind depends on it, and for that, we need to sail far from the usual status-quo to find new paths, because other worlds may be possible.
