The title of the series Ma Non Troppo originates in the opera vocabulary, ‘Allegro ma non troppo’ but most generally from his taste for minimal creativity. Whether is a painting, a music piece, a dinner or a garden, Demarigny loves the right balance between few ingredients and great beauty.
As explained in the series Musicology, Demarigny has a penchant for music. Creating the own vocabulary of expression and playing with it along the artistic pathway, demonstrates the unique signature of an artist. He draws parallels from the musical virtuosity to the artistic. As an example, Ma Non Troppo could be inspired by a jazzy trio or quintet.
“I love the right balance between few ingredients and great beauty.”
Flavien Demarigny, 2021.
The concept is playing with a minimal palette of bright colors, an off white background and a tridimensional vision of brush strokes that superposition each other. They seem, as if they were flying in the air. The goal is to find several geometrical combinations, that create variations with the same ingredients, find diverse balances of compositions. ‘Ma non troppo’ stands for Demarigny’s will to keep my artworks very very simple and yet intense and sensitive.
Demarigny’s artistic pathway is about the long lasting research in a particular field and the lifelong study of it. This particular creativity and ingenuity can be found also in other creative disciplines, such as, poetry, dance, cinema and others.
