Untitled 155_25 Jean-Daniel Salvat and partly guided by intuitionThis work demonstrates Ludovic Dervillez's mature, incisive stylea dynamic departure from the dense layering of his earlier output. Dervillez creates an abstract, calligraphic composition where marks are treated as irreversible acts. Influenced by the energetic mark making of artists like Cy Twombly and Joan Mitchell, his work concentrates on the precision of the gesture and the restrained tension of the surface, affirming the canvas as a vital space
