Biography
In the works of Maurice Blaussyld, an archetype vanitas emerges. If the gesture of painting is at its outset that which covers a surface with a material, in the work of Maurice Blaussyld everything is painting including his texts, a suite of phrases typed in black on white paper. In light of the illusion of our world, the artist opposes a radical pictorial realism which magnifies interstices as intervals and deconstructs the image and its origins.
