Georges Meurant
'No light needed'

Georges Meurant's work requires no special lighting. The blues are vivid early in the morning, and late in the evening it's the turn of the reds. At dawn, the three colors on which the works are based settle down. The structures underlying each painting are best showcased at dusk. These works also function under constant lighting: the color rectangles suddenly begin forming temporary groups which we perceive as standing out from the rest, each group soon superseded by the emergence of another, and then another, each of them different. Moreover, some groupings of such rectangles momentarily stand back, forming a ground in respect of which the others come forward; moments later, new groupings assume ground status, and then others. For as long as we look at the paintings, the permutations continue.
