… « Gerard Pairé  has chosen to let its polymer mixtures flow freely and to allow the elastic liquid to drift on the floor (ultimately repositioned, when dry, on supports such as canvas). On the floor of the studio, lay the future elements of the patch-painting ª

Gérard Pairé is essentially a painter experimenting and looking for ideal matter ; this luminous moving matter, endlessly flowing and constantly attempting to achieve eternity through  reconstruction.
Painting has always been for him flesh, epidermis, a bare skin made of coloured lights brushing and twisting against and each other like caresses rich of erotic promises.

The colours invade space through different texture and fluid effects,

eventually allowing the light to drift and slip away leaving behind but a veiled space beyond which stand abyss. »
