Title: Sylvain Croci-Torti
Description: Organized around an extensive photographic documentation of his Martigny show, but encompassing the last six years of his practice, the book offers an insight into the artist's idiosyncratic approach to contemporary painting. Informed by the Swiss tradition of geometric abstraction and monochrome - from Olivier Mosset, John M Armleder, Christian Floquet to Francis Baudevin, Philippe Decrauzat, and Stéphane Dafflon - as well as by a decisive interest in the relationships between painting and architecture - i.e. how we perceive and experience two-dimensional works in three-dimensional environments - Croci-Torti is building a cogent body of works dealing with and renewing the eternal parameters of painting - colors, forms, proportions, perspectives, and structures.  Exhibition: Manoir de la Ville de Martigny, Switzerland (23.02. - 13.05.2018).
