ABSTRACT
In painting or photography, the human figure is depicted as being restrained, kept in a near visibility in the works of contemporary artists like Jean-Marc Cerino, Gerhard Richter, and Sylvain Couzinet-Jacques. By means of eclipse, erasure, veil, blur, and even overexposure, it shows by evading. Through diverse methods of detachment, this transitional state conveys a gap in the representation. In this way, the mechanisms of perception of images and, indirectly, of the human beings these images evoke, are at work. Some forms of blindness modify these representations which, on the brink of their appearance, eventually vanish.
