About the “Celsius” series from my artistic project “Human Impact”
Through the “Celsius” series, composed of paintings bearing the title of heat records set around the world in recent years, HU/Lie delivers an excessive vision of the impact that the repeated effect of increasing temperatures would have on human physiology. Lacking time to hope for a saving genetic adaptation, he sketches the beginnings of bodily disintegration where drying out of the skin and burning of the flesh would constitute the collateral damage of human activity on Man.
Our faces with their innocent, sensitive, joyful or worried expressions, and whose features are outlined on hidden warning messages, gradually fade behind a material tortured by an invisible flame, giving way to the scars of consumption.
The vulnerability of the being contrasts with the seriousness of the situation where only the distress seems to be part of the near, probable and perhaps already irreversible future.
And yet…
Beyond the cause, the glow of these same looks, the furrows of these same faces, these same human beings constitute the solution. Through the mirror effect of his paintings where each look could be ours, Hu/Lie invites the viewer to seek the deep meaning of his reflections, his excesses and his actions.
“The future is not what will happen but what we will do” Henry Bergson
