Fugue

The exhibition "FUGUE" by Antoine Carbonne, held at Galerie La Patinoire Royale Bach, Brussels, presents a series of new, colorful paintings conceived as vast landscapes. The works explore a circulatory and enveloping logic, with the title derived from the German word "fügen" (to join or assemble), suggesting an adjustment to a world in motion. Carbonne's narrative unfolds in the moment of viewing, with different speeds and successive planes, encouraging the viewer to perceive relativity and potentially develop a sense of self-importance.

The exhibition text includes a narrative that delves into themes of imitation, reality, and the concept of the void. The protagonist engages in imitating various elements of their surroundings, from cats and trees to abstract concepts like the void itself, exploring the fluidity of identity and perception. This exploration culminates in an encounter with a car, symbolizing a sharp transition back to a more conventional reality.
