the painting trailer
my RoulotteÀPeinture A simple idea.
To bring a painting studio into the outdoors. Go towards children and adults too, and offer them to paint, to draw for as long as they want to. A very simple idea : to built a big colorful box to open everybody’s eyes and heart. A box with paints,
sheets of paper of different sizes but also of different colors,
some pencils, crayons and pastels,
cans of water, brushes, scissors, and some glue.
The box is mounted on wheels, so as to be mobile.
Once a location picked, the tarpaulins are laid out to outline a big enough space to muck about without worries. And the motley colorful box,
the painting trailer, works like a magnet: curiosity, surprise and in the end, freedom, freedom to act, to express oneself and to meet each other. The painting trailer.
A outdoor gallery, without hang-ups and I dare say democratic. Democratic, not in the traditional sense but in the sense that all can express themselves without directives from the outside. A freedom to meet with oneself and with others. In that newly-found time, one is left with oneself,
not in a space-time which is squashed, framed, ultimately erased. Time for a reflective memory, outside judgments, outside the incessant onslaught of stereotypes that afflict us. I dared say democratic for it is from here that the word freedom really stems.
