I started from the idea that vacuum is the main part of the universe, yet emptiness is not nothing. I wanted to experiment the limits of painting, taking minimal means, dots and white lines on a black empty background. From close up there are only signs and little by little with distance, the spectator recomposes a complex reality. So I wrote an abbreviation of the Real that questions the place of the look and what is, finally, a picture.

Patrice Palacio is a French visual artist whose main medium is painting. He is 47 years old and lives in the south of France. His work develops in the form of series essentially articulated around two constants: ​ - The achromy of black and white. - Fragmentation of the pictorial surface. The exclusive use of black and white is induced by a research initiated for more than 10 years on tone and luminance, the direct and the essential. The fragmentation of the surface, on the other hand, engages the viewer in a dual figuration / abstraction that quickly becomes useless to apprehend the work and therefore questions the relation to the Real and its representation. Palacio summarizes this paradox, this "permanent return and return from the detail to the whole" as the only condition for finding "the place of the gaze" which teaches about one's own perception. ​ "It is not so much my art that is contemporary as its spectators."
