"Nothing before, nothing after, all while doing" Jean Degottex "As a young artist close to lyrical abstraction, whose calligraphic signs were admired by André Breton, Jean Degottex was attracted, from the 1950s, to Zen thought. "All writings are attractive," he said, "but I believe that when they are not accessible, everything takes on a different meaning. There is a transcendence of the sign in Sumi or Zen calligraphy, but how do you approach the transcendence of a Western sign? Everyone invents a vocabulary and transcends it in their own way." All his life, Degottex will have practiced this research, until the blossoming of the last years, when he had reached works of this type: acrylic and glue on cotton canvas. No color, but Indian ink. These parallel black or white bands drawn with a flat brush of 18 cm form metasigns where one must look for, as Mallarmé would say, "an attempt at language above conventional language".
