I thought about this painting after reading the play My Insomnia Face. My goal was to create a unique work without falling into illustration. There is an element of surrealism.
I felt the need to create a quieter, calmer painting where the human presence would only be suggested by its absence. A more intimate, more introverted gaze engages us in contemplation.
Make a vacuum to make room for the hidden meanings of things; a mystical experience. They are images impulses to the disruption of consciousness. Because we become aware of the void, the subconscious can flow freely.

I build compositions that take place in the space of the canvas, focusing my effort on, points, lines, surfaces, colors; the relationship between them and the resulting tensions.
The presence of artifacts is testimony to a passage. Presence of everyday object with a preference for objects, integrated into the space, constituting a stripped space, which are integral with the place.
The notions: of fall, of levitation, of balances and of perspectives, attached to the particular framing allow me to divert the usefulness of things (R. Mutt) and therefore to set up a ”primary” game where the senses are put in place. cantilever on minimal formal background.
The process that matters to me is that of the spectator’s sensory experience. A test of discovery, of owning the place.
The more the series advances, the less details I bring in. The simple volume will better highlight a detail, a shadow.
Human yes, but where? And how? A two-way questioning on my pictorial practice, namely on presence and absence, on content and form.
biographie:
Boris Garanger is 35 years old and was born in France. After his Baccalauréat (for UK French equivalent of the A levels, for US high school diploma) he decided to spend a year abroad in Bournemouth, England. It is said that travelling shapes the youth. As he bounded with youngsters from all over the world, he came back with an extremely developed intercultural sensitivity. Bilingual, he enters the Ecole des Beaux Arts de Lorient where he spends a year discovering several techniques. With an increasing desire of wanting to pursue his formation in visual arts, he entered in second year at the Beaux Arts de Rennes with an option in Art. There, he will develop a strong interest in contemporary art. He spent his 4th year at the Ecole La Cambre in Brussels, with an option in sculpture. After a year, he took the decision to leave. Out of a longing for adventure and a taste for risk taking, he spends a year travelling (Madagascar, île Maurice, …) and is inspired pictorially by these different landscapes… He undertakes a special formation of metal and iron work. His daily jobs in the construction business have given him a certain expertise in assembling and building, which is not unrelated to his artistic project… Then came Switzerland, Canada, the United-States… Yearning for new landscapes, encounters, knowledge, and greatness, Boris Garanger soaks in experiences from his different travels in order to feed its creation.
As he came back to France in 2017, he decided to settle there, as well as fully and definitively commit to his artistic work. He regularly takes part in events and contests.
