Drawing as aims
Ritual drawings
Indian ink on paper
According to Jacques Derrida, drawing (dessin) is first and foremost an intent (dessein): a project of the mind translated into a material work. These drawings fit into this dynamic as a liminal and essential practice. They are part of a ritual: the repetition of the gesture becomes a passage, an opening towards a state of consciousness conducive to creation. In this process, the hand precedes thought as much as it accompanies it. It frees the body in a form of slow trance, sometimes meditative, sometimes obsessive.
This series explores a stream-of-consciousness writing, balancing drawing and mental transcription. The repetitive and sinuous line creates structures that are both organic and abstract, evoking inner cartographies, biological networks, or invisible manifestations. Due to their scale and density, these compositions impose an almost sonorous, immersive physicality.
Neither entirely figurative nor completely abstract, these forms are constructed like automatic writing or a mediumistic tracing. They convey an inner movement, a breath, a presence. This work belongs to an artistic lineage spanning from Henri Michaux to Cy Twombly or Pierrette Bloch, as well as contemporary sensitive abstractions, where drawing becomes an act of revelation rather than representation.
Each piece acts as a field of forces, activating the gaze and imagination, while extending a reflection on the thresholds of the visible, language, and sensory experience. All of this articulates with Vincent Mesaros's overall approach, which seeks to make the impalpable perceptible, through both text and image.
