Vase bleu et fleurs 

Cricorps created this artwork of a vase of flowers with ink on paper, measuring 80 by 60 centimeters. The composition presents a fractured still life, where a vase of flowers is deconstructed into geometric shards. Notice how the artist uses black outlines to define and separate the various color fields, emphasizing the fragmentation of form. The palette, while vibrant, is confined within these rigid structures, creating a tension between the organic subject matter and the geometric abstraction. This tension destabilizes the traditional still life, challenging our perception of form and representation. The flowers and vase, normally symbols of beauty and stability, are now dynamic and disrupted. This approach could be viewed through the lens of structuralism, where the underlying structure of representation is exposed and questioned, pushing us to reconsider fixed meanings and aesthetic conventions. Consider the black lines that not only divide but also construct the image. They are integral to the artwork’s meaning as they challenge us to see beyond the surface.
