When Ruffi de Pontevès started out on the art scene,
his first works were clearly and firmly rooted in abstraction.
Only the
spontaneity of the pictorial gesture enables him to take stock of the memories of the landscapes of his
Normandy childhood.
Energetically posing colours on the canvas, his approach thus runs counter to the majority of his
contemporaries.
In his latest canvases,
Ruffi seems to draw the essence from his previous works,
his thirst for colour is now limitless,
he emancipates himself, opening up new pathways and entering into a conversation.
"I paint with my energy, my intuition. My painting is decided in the moment, passing from light and shade to intense luminosity. I undertake a dialogue with my canvas, it questions what is happening within me: this transition from a fragile to a charged dynamic state.”
by Molly Mine : Lorsque l'on contemple une toile de Ruffi de Pontevès, on est saisi par l'harmonie des
couleurs qui semblent participer
à une géographie idéale, presque sereine, tout en dispensant une énergie folle. C'est cela son talent : nous donner l'ultime pensée
d'un paysage mental qui n'en est pas un. L'univers sur toile de Ruffi est très physique, presque charnel.
Ce qu'il donne à voir est, en fait, le résultat de sa bataille.
