"A painting by Jean-Pierre Formica is never conceived in isolation. It is never thought of as a separate entity. For him, painting does not fit well with the idea of the painting, which he prefers to that of painting and its deployment. All of his work can be understood in this continuum, this mobility that he follows without anticipating it. A painting, for him, is never a program but an act that is experienced as a sequence where the artist initiates a scene that he creates by drawing from his lives, his lives as a painter, without knowing where these paths will lead him. He wants to be the daily worker of this movement that carries him along like the current of his thought. He seeks the spirit of forms." Olivier Kaepplin This first monograph of the artist allows us to discover in a dazzling way this thread that is woven between each of his creations, revealing all the richness of the chromatic palette, of forms, of supports and of themes.
