As he looks back on a decade of creation since his transition from the wall to the canvas to publish the monograph Variation(s), Yann L’Outsider had to experience a vertigo; a vertigo that the viewer also faces when he immerses his gaze in the dual abstraction of his works where the glimmers of light projected into the interstices of black matter lead to unfathomable infinity… Through the series in black and white that have marked these last ten years, Yann L’Outsider has tirelessly explored the possibilities of form in the visual language of abstraction: an aesthetics of letter, with a prismatic play of typographic elements, that continues in the studio his original urban practice; but also an aesthetics of form in motion. Variations in the plural, which the artist seeks to capture, not in suspended moments but precisely in their dynamics of transformation; and it is precisely a singular vibration that emanates from his works, creating a tension in which we, the spectators, are literally caught up.
