  :: :: The Aglou saga ::  

AGLOU (Sidi Moussa, province of Tiznit - south Morocco).
The first painting has been realized in Aglou in 1978,
originally an automatic drawing (filling of space).

The three other paintings were designed as a direct extension of the first,
free from any influences of the intermediaries versions.

One can note, by observing the four paintings, the progression from original
chaos towards a perfect balance, result of introspective auto-analyze feverish and exhausting,
which, although having wasted eight years of possible unconcern, were
extremely enlightening.

These images are mirrors: though having been conceived through personal theoretical search,
every body remains free to find his own interest there and make his own interpretation of it.

This third version of the painting realized five years after the first one is, just like the series of the Arcanes of the Tarot, placed under the sign of the Duality Female / Masculine.

Besides one finds there the majority of the elements which are the central subjects of these pictures (see the Tarot pages on this site). The masculine is registered in the red spiral in top on the right, the female one in the blue spiral which makes him opposite.

The central spiral sees both merging in an androgyny with two heads, symbolizing the psychic unification of Animus and of Anima beloved by C.G.Jung. The whole of the painting is largely placed under the sign of Jung's psychology and of speculative Alchemy, which does not prevent a certain ludic and purely aesthetics reality.

The four appearances of the kiss of Rodin confirm the topic of the union of the opposites. The mask of Satan in bottom of the chessboard on top of Christ's last meal and with his apostles precedes the developments of fourth Aglou on the coexistence of "good" and "evil".
