Catalogue Note
" En bon sauvage, je fus pris d'une frénésie post-pollockienne pendant laquelle [...] j'ai accumulé, piétiné dans l'ordre et le désordre de grandes quantités de tubes et leurs couleurs, avec des éclatements et des giclures d'une extrême violence [...]. Fidèle à mon infidélité, j'ai continué dans la logique du geste et j'ai tiré à coup de couleurs sur des objets préparés sur la toile. Les objets musicaux ont en général prévalu - mieux : survécu - à cette guerre en couleur. On va m'accuser de "retourner au violon", je le sais mais pourquoi alors ne pas reprocher à de bien grands artistes leur éternel retour au nu et au paysage? " (Arman, Je suis une fourmilière, 1989, cité in 'Arman', Paris, 2010, p.260)
