"[L]a fragmentation, la dispersion, l’émiettement, sont les principes [de ces peintures]. Le premier regard y distingue de petites formes séparées, les unes dentelées, les autres plus ramassées, qui semblent recouvrir une surface de teinte plus claire. Elles sont innombrables. Les nommer est malaisé : on dirait des coraux ou des cailloux ou des débris pétrifiés ou concrétionnés. S’il arrive qu’un peu de vert indique de la végétation, le minéral règne largement sur ces surfaces désertiques. Le ciel lui-même, quand apparaît un ciel distinct du sol, est envahi de nuages si denses que l’aérien se sépare à peine du terrestre. Ce serait sables et poussières en dessous, falaises et agates au dessus : un monde sans vent, sans eau, sans mouvement – presque sans vie."

Philippe Dagen, catalogue de l’exposition « Dado. Collection Daniel Cordier » à la Galerie Chave en 2004.
