This book which accompanies the painting of Jean-Marie Biwer ‘L’atelier’ – from a collaboration between Jean-Marie Biwer, Mudam and a I part – proposes a zoom in on the painting by examining it closely, while going back on painting. The extracts reproduced are details from the painting, annotated on each page by the painter. Like the speech bubbles in comic strips, the handwritten questions point out the extracts of the painting and allow the painting to speak: it’s as if the artist was showing us that these questionings are caught in the painting even before the image, caught in his thought, his tools, his material, in other words, his resistance.
