"Le Champ Bleu" a commission mural by Christian Astuguevieille

Dear Shaded Viewers,

"Le Champ Bleu" a commission mural for a turinese collector.

I thought that you might enjoy a closer look at "Le Champ Bleu" created by Christian Astuguevieille for one of his collectors. Here is the behind the scenes installation, something only the artist and his clients ever get to see. A few posts back I told you how I've witnessed a little of the making of the 88,000 individual cut pieces of rope painted in a mesmerizing ultramarine acrylic paint. You can be sure that this was a very passionate and work intensive process.

5 m long, 2.50 m high, 4.4 km of rope, 88.000 cut pieces of rope, ultramarine acrylic paint

There is no creation without inspiration neither by Ykes Klein nor by Christian Astuguevieille.
Each artist digest the past and the present to build his future works in his own way.
As well Bleu Outremer or Ultramarine Blue is not the same pigment than YKB.

Yes Daniel, We would have think of Yves Klein... but I do not think Klein has the Monopoly of Blue ?
