In this interview, Jean-Noël told us about his inspiration and his passion.
Jean-Noël, writing in one of the most emblematic areas in Cap de Creus.
1. How can you explain this link between Paris, Cadaqués, and other major capitals where you are currently making exhibitions?
I am French-African-Catalan. I started as a performance artist for the Cledalique Gallery in Cadaqués. It was a Gallery on top of the hill, in front of the church. I have been in charge of creating performances for seven years with total freedom. The very first one ended with a concert of Rostropovich inside the church, the priest was so touched that he blessed me at the end, we had the support of the Pujols family, the great Catalan philosopher who defended Miro and Gaudi.
Miette and Teeny Duchamp created a concept called Arealism. They wanted me to be a continuation of it. Not over (surrealism) but near and different because involved the invisible unknown that is bombarding everyone with infinite particles, Vibrations that connect the smallest to the bigger, the muli-dimensional. Later Miette showed a Video from a Performance to Teeny Duchamp in Paris, An hommage I created for her husband Marcel, that she really enjoyed, she said: « Marcel would have loved that ». It was a woman dressed with selected articles from newspapers on top of broken glasses on the floor. I was doing a reading by undressing her slowly from the newspapers Articles; an aleatory poem made from different everyday facts.
I spent my days and nights in Cap de Creus (close to Cadaques, in Catalonia). I had a main vision here that open me the door to the fourth dimension. The connection to the smaller and the larger. When I meet neuroscientists in Beverly hills. (I worked with David Dubin) they confirmed the exact vision I had. Yes, cosmic particles were bombarding the brain every second, and depending on our way to react or interact our brain can become an ocean reflecting cosmos.
"Star-Blood" and "Pearl eye Medium" my first two books of poetry published by Poet Republik in California, translated into English and French got covers of works made here in Cap de Creus. We first held a Berlin conference with the Alan Ginsberg Trust and the William s Burroughs Estate. My editor Maria Teustch from the Henry Miller foundation says about my writings: « As a poet, Jean-Noel creates landscapes of the soul: a river of color flowing and reminding us that as humans survival is not enough: there is so much more to life; galaxies within galaxies waiting for us to explore. His art reminds us that there is a life force waiting to explode inside each of us if we dare to milk it from the blood of stars
From Cap de Creus; "Chaosmosis ride" was created min y last two works of art in plexiglass now exhibited in Los Angeles. My first lecture as a philosopher was written for Athens Greece "Hapex Hapax: one verticality ». The backbone of my work was conceptualized here in Cadaqués on the cosmic portal of Cap de Creus.

3. As we were talking, you have a great perception and sensitivity towards everything that represents something more than what can be seen and touched, which is considered the third dimension, How would you express this perception of your art world?
In Senegal Africa, I have been raised in the magic circle of Idrumming and polyphonic sound. Placed in a circle of infinite muses, a circle of women. We were placed in the middleware as children. This was when I realized I wanted to be invisible between the Matter. I started to take Photographs at Five years old, all blurry…Stating to my father «I want to catch the invisible». The children that are in this circle feel secure and loved, and you are immediately transcended, understanding vibrations, and crowned by birds of magic. «The ineffable one» the one (hen in Greek)
The third dimension was always for me the starting point of Entertainment, Propaganda, and that's the identification point. A simplification of the universe, the so-called renaissance stating that Marylin could be Athena, and please in 3D and virtual reality.… The process of identification. The stolen mirror from the origins of Narcissus. Don’t be fascinated by the surface of the mirror, that's the way your desires are stolen. The vertical narcissus was marketed as the horizontal one the one who has stolen his path, his ADN manifesting ancestors went away, that's and the Epic necessity to realize him-herself as a being; connecting his brain with his vibrating crown to the universe.

Ulysses in 3D became amiddle-of-the-road to horizonnecrosisy, a middle-of-the-road average, citizen; testifying to the arrogance of his travels and the impossibility of adventure. As «Nostos» became the big occidental in the middle-of-the-road Stageyou should be rescued by psychoanalyst necrosis stage zero of existence, cancer in the egg.
I was much more deeply touched by two dimensional the real Icons or Egyptian Hieroglyphs at least there was a Point to knowledge and something to subtract using our spirits and mind to understand. Not just about absorbing everything into ethnocentric reductive and pretentious lilliputians manipulated visions. Being outside of any dogma and reconstructed history. Knowing that Glory is always the true shadow of failure.
I used to say, then I wrote it into my poems; « the shadow is a body sung by the moon » The skin is just a filter from the inner to the outer. The way we envision reality is very limited, and the three-dimensional representation is wrong. The body is vibrating, and it cannot be defined by a flat surface, this is just a nihilist approach. Something full of nostalgia and close to depression. We’re so frightened that we like to define the surface of what we see as not moving, really stable when it is not, the surface is in fact moving, vibrating, making very strange things, but our brain stabilizes that. I think the more we are going to grow and develop humanity, the more our perception is going to grow, and I just think the weight, the equilibrium that we have, is something that is ruled by fear.

Infinity is here kissing everyone, That's how I got more involved in Hyparxis. The neo-platonic greek concept, Francesc Pujols and Hiparxiologia, or the science of existence.
4. A topic that I think needs to be debated today is, how can art be transmitted in this era we are living in. Do you think there is a vulgarization of everything, and art is no longer understood or appreciated?
The major chockmasks arriving in Europe, as a kid raised in Africa, were horizontality and nihilism. I couldn’t figure out: how it was possible to replicate persons, dogmas, and identification of nothingness. And of course never speaking about facing the void, the space, the vertical walk, the falling body, and the distancing elevation of the spirit, existing wholly supra-essentially the (Hyparxis) In Greek. Writing, painting, and creating music are the best way to access the consciousness of the void and open the infinite space of quality
I really wanted to go outside the manipulation of history and concepts, because they just regulate our vision and they make us really sad about reality because that’s not enough from what we could consider, I wanted to have a different vision than a man who was walking on the Earth and looking at everything from the level of the man. I think we have to watch things at another level, a cosmogenic level, not only at a man’s level. It’s nearer reality to watch things at a cosmos level than at a man’s level. Emptiness: my heart spark: The invisible dance of the universe. » The inner fire is the main treasure you have, the one that they cannot steal, but do not think that consumerism will not do its best to steal it from you. Then you lose your verticality, then you become haunted by your reflection.
Literature became an outlaw, like art, there are no movements and diversity, only colors (or absolutely not) for Paintings. Like there are no Liberties but only liberty. To always decline plural factor, literature, music,s pure relativist propaganda, journalistic marketing of insignificance with the goal to expiate from countries t initiate culture in their history. The plural is the expiatory brand of the after.
« Das ist Egal » is the end of Civilizations, the bet of weariness, exhaustion, and insignificance. Broken mirrors narratives everywhere and true literature gives the idea of the Failure of what could have been, bringing to mind the infinite in confidential editions or not re-edited editions. The imaginary of truth will survive. The epic inside adventure ha been twisted to the sexual imagination s consumerism metamorphosis. The main part being is in the invisible, the Ataraxie as a source. Is this so hard to understand that the readymade «the fountain» is representing the inverse of what it should be in order to re-up the infinite source inside everyone? it seems that an entire part of contemporary followers forgot what Duchamp underlined: « Don’t forget poetry » and « the Artist from the future will be an Outlaw.»

6. I think you are preparing a beautiful exhibition in Morocco, on a very special subject, water. Can you explain how this topic is going to develop?
I will with the support of the foundation for the protection of the Ocean create a new Exhibition in the Museum of the King of Maroco; the Museum of the civilization of the water. This is a matter of importance to me I was already involved with United Nations in the past... I will center my exhibition on Hydromancy which is the Ancient knowledge of divinatory through the water. It has to see with my process of creating artworks through vibrations and invisible language.
I will center my exhibition on Hydromancy which is the Ancient knowledge of divinatory through the water.
The surface of the water
"The extent of my desire traps space,
And each dream becomes a pebble:
The immaterial flutters each rock’s angle
And the soul sculpts mountains.
When love opens the waiting fields,
Reason murders transcendence.
When lightning opens the path,
It’s lava that tends our bond and its fragments.
The tangible mirror of vibrating effects
Concrete alchemy
A trap of particles, an immortal source.
The face of the water murmurs with a magic tongue
From before grammar shamed essence,
And transforms children into sleepwalkers».
7. Likewise, I think you have had a very significant presence in countries like Monaco, and currently Canada. Could you tell us a little about your work there?
My Galerie in Paris in 2000, advised «Sacha Tarassoff» was thinking about me as the next step into a new painting, he adviced me to meet different other artists in the States, knowing as he was the main collector of Support-surface how difficult it could be for me. This is exactly what I have done meeting the generation of New new new paintings and taking advice from them.
I had personal exhibitions in Beverly Hills and west Hollywood. Los Angeles has always been very open and supportive to me. After L.A., Monte Carlo opened with a solo show on the Billionaire club terrace of the Fairmont and a great meeting with the most important art dealer in the world, Joseph Nahmad. We became close friends talking every day about art and the art market, undervalued and overvalued ones, de chirico who couldn’t survive without his help, and many others even the ones we could disagree about. I have returned to Monte Carlo last year for the Maria Callas Gala, where I beat the most expensive artwork in an auction. my new collaboration in Canada is in fact an old relationship I have with the Galerie Bob Oré, who organized a solo show for me at BOA in West Hollywood. I have now the support of Greece who invited me as an Artist, Poet, and philosopher for a first exhibition in Athens. I will go deeper this summer with a solo exhibition at the Museum of Rhodes.

8. You can add what you think is or can be meaningful about your work for the readers and followers of Vega&Màgic Magazine I understood I had to place the canvas on the ground and dance around using verticality as a magic tool. Could we fly? elevate enough our vision to focus on one point and at the same time the distance and a wider one. Later when I meet Francois Lumen who was an advanced researcher for CNRS and working on Asatelliteserogel (half solid and liquid , I made another giant step, he was designing the aerogel they fix on satellites in order t trap matter from the cosmos and analyze it once it’s back to earth. I was dancing around and it became so obvious: a truthful Artwork would be an Interface between Humans and the cosmos. Trapping the dance of cosmic particles is the secret language of the universe. Ut Pictura Poesis, Ut Poesis Pictura. Mapping the divine assault of cosmic particles in a Poetic 4th dimension artwork.
The fourth dimension opens the 5th dimension which is setting your intention with the universe. The voice and ability to express, connecting heart to spirit and vice versa, opening naturally to the 6th: the wisdom, the distance the ability to close your eyes and see through, leading to the 7th the vibration, the crown what Salvador called « Being God » in his Opera which of course can not to taken on first degree just to give an idea of the frame…
The vibration of the crown can be called: the one (greek Hen), of course, this is the ultimate and true unknowable reality.
« The Chrysalis of infinite metamorphosis allows the human being to pass through.
The exact projection of these fears on the screen of our lives, the lost reflection recovered by Narcissus. Begin, then, a dance on the sea foam which, is the epic voyage.
Myth is within the hand’s reach. Wind on the neck’s nape, naturally-recaptured fire. »
Transcendence will always defeat the triumph of hypocrisy.
