Marc Rossignol (°1954) developed an artistic practice that is rich and diverse, deploying different conceptual methods and material techniques, like painting, drawing, assemblage, sculpture and performance. Inspired by his encyclopedaedic interest in art history and the cultures of the world, Rossignol incorporates many different influences, among which the ideas of Abby Warburg, systems of signage, geometry and the practice of ?Kolams? (mandala-like shapes, drawn by woman in India using flour, chalk and rice).00Since 2004, Rossignol performs artistic actions by which he paints or draws simultaneously with his right and left hand, while reciting Edouard Glissant, François Cheng or Pasolini. A returning principle in his work and performances is the continuous line, that he employs according to Eulerian principles ? filling the total space of the canvas, ending where the line starts. He draws networks of continuous lines that invade the space, overlap, and become entangled in an inextricable web. Through the performance, a tension is raised; the experience of the body guides the mind, which becomes purely receptive. Both body and mind converge in the creation of an image that is deeply connected to the moment of production. The brush strokes indicate a route, from the source to the end, and thus underline the particular relationship with the time that flows.
