Traces-formes
circa 1968
ln 1968, Ristori adopted a protocol for his painting that he called "Trace-form", to which he would adhere strictly for all his future production.
Thereafter, François Ristori painted hexagonal forms of 37.5 x 48.5 cm, each side of which was subjected to an "intervention", fitting into each other and filling the totality of the support. He used three colours (white, blue, red) in such a way that two hexagons of the same colour were not in contact. The artist repeated and reactualised this protocol on different supports. By systematising these "Trace-forms", Ristori left no room in his paintings for expressiveness or subjectivity.

| Circumstances of production | A partir de 1967, apparaît les "Traces-formes" dans l'oeuvre de Ristori qui établit un protocole auquel il se tiendra strictement jusqu'à sa mort : des formes hexagonales, dont chaque côté est affecté par une rupture, remplissent la totalité du support et sont colorées de trois couleurs, le bleu, le rouge et le blanc, formant "trois présences distinctes", de telle sorte qu'aucun hexagone d'une couleur données soit au contact d'un hexagone de la même couleur. Les formes hexagonales ont toujours les mêmes dimensions (37,5 x 48, 5 cm). |
