Joseph Dadoune

Selected white works 2018 - 2021

Doron von Beider, Mario Casanova, Barbara Wolffer (texts)

In his Paris studio, far from the light of the Mediterranean shores, Joseph Dadoune has written a new page in his artistic practice. A blank page, one would be tempted to say, as white occupies, in the works of his new series entitled Whites, a major, unprecedented place in his work. After black, yellow, intense colors, here is the irruption of white. From its brilliance, its power, its nuances, its opacity, its blinding character too. one would be tempted to say that, for Joseph Dadoune, it is a question of creating a screen. Veiled windows, blank frames, buried screens, opaque mirrors, blind wall, covered or glimpsed objects: in these works, indeed, the gaze is stopped, the image or the object hidden, absent, crossed out, even impossible. The artist strives to cover, mask, veil, bury. Screening (excerpt) Barbara Wolffer
