Arthur Hoffmann (b. 1991) invites us to experience of retinal persistence through his Screan Paintings, immersing us in a futuristic, almost apocalyptic projection. The colored patches applied, like an incalculable number of pixels that intertwine, do not refer so much to a form of abstraction as to an optical game that negotiates with reality. Diffused with a body spray, the layers of pigment, which die one after the other, produce a velvety texture on the surface. With this technique, Hoffmann updates the Leonardian sfumato and refers to the Gaussian blur of image processing software. Between the acidity of the edges with fluorescent tints and the chromatic indefinition of the center of the canvas, the artist plays with both analog and digital references. He invites us to reflect on the increasingly porous boundaries between material and virtual reality. This series synthesizes what, from the painting material to the digital tool, we can apprehend of the slip between our incarnation in the world and its erasure. The artist sacralizes popular objects, digital screens and pieces of plastic, which would become vestiges of our contemporary world.
