More than ten years after the emergence of the tondo in his work, and the creation of some thirty works in the years 2010/2012, the circular form has again recently imposed itself on artist Dan Barichasse in his Paris studio in the former Chaptal factory in Montreuil.

In itself, the circle is an absolute, perfect form, an absolute culmination.
In this roundness that intensifies the movements of the material in a vertiginous circularity, where form and substance are in perfect harmony, a sensuality, a spirituality, a limpidity, an infinite movement all come to the fore.

In turn, Dan Barichasse conjures up the elements Earth, Air, Water, Fire, Breath and Void, freed from any prior structure, and unfurling in greater freedom, replaying the formation of matter, the passage from chaos to an organized universe. In a systematic search for the origins of life, the painter seems intent on drawing the cosmic invisible.
