Rémy Aron - Citation from Gérard Fromanger

Citation from Gérard Fromanger

"Hello dear Remy Aron,

From the depths of Tuscany I am in the studio painting and organizing the books and magazines that accumulate.   I came across your beautiful book ‘Time Suspended’ and was compelled to write this email to let you know how your work touches me and causes me to consider the words of Alberto Giacometti ‘there are things I repeat because they haven’t been said enough. 

You are part of this lineage, Cezanne, Picasso, De Chirico, Francis Gruber, Goiogio Morandi, Alberto Giaometti, Cubism, Futurism, metaphysical painting, magical realism, surrealism, and more.

I think all these periods plunge us into….. Let’s say, ‘Modern Past’ whilst also and above all a depth that reminds us of our fundamentals.  I feel that is from here from this base that a new language can and must be born. 

You stick to this hard uncompromising work with a simplicity and a moving virtuosity that the times demand.  "
