  • Nicolas Jasmin’s creative approach can be interpreted as an archaeology of the picture. The artist has developed a distinctive process combining painting with laser technology: a focused ray of light cuts into layers of paint applied to coarse sackcloth, exposing them down to the primer. For his motifs, Jasmin looks both to art history and to pop and everyday culture. In this painting, he took inspiration from Maria Lassnig’s work “Two Forms Superimposed / Black Surface Distribution” (1952). As though to comment on his gesture of appropriation, Jasmin sends his colleague a greeting in the title that also lets us read the composition as the letters CU, widely used as an abbreviation for “see you.”
