You
may freely intervene in this heading. Then the best way is to send
us a message :
 write us
... We shall publish with a great pleasure your remarks and
commentaries !
We
never will forget to specify that this site is not obliged to do
the advertising for articles or societies and, in the same way,
we don't beneficit from sponsorship or other supports. It is our
liberty ! ... Hence, for exemple, if it happens (and in fact it
is quite certain !) that we speak highly of some compagnies like
«ChessBase», naturally, and «New in Chess», it will be on our own
authority and because we are able to judge that, beyond justified
financial motivations, this firms contribute largely to develop of
our prefered art through the world.
The
ideas we have just expressed here well evidendly apply in
particular to artists who will be interviewing here about their
artistic activity or will come freely inform us of their
favorite centres of interest. Now we have the pleasure to present
to you Dominique Digeon, parisian artist inspired by chess. He
speak so well about his art that we prefer now hand you over to
him, both through his works and words.

«Le
thème des échecs est un fil conducteur qui me sert depuis 1991 à
structurer mon travail de peinture entamé lui depuis plus de
trente ans et qui se caractérise par une succession de "séries".
Les peintures, dessins, livres, collages sur les échecs sont
eux-mêmes constitués de séries réalisées de façon concomitantes
et parallèles.»
«Je
suis ainsi passé de l'utilisation de l'esthétique des cases de
l'échiquier et de ces combinaisons possibles (dualité/alternance
des couleurs et des contrastes) à l'invention de la "partie peinte"
qui unifie une pensée (une partie d'échecs réellement jouée), un
lieu (l'échiquier) et un temps par la succession peinte des coups,
tout ça en passant par la représentation des pièces et la
mémorisation de "la partie/la bataille"»
Dominique DIGEON, Paris 2004
Here is an older Dominique Digeon's text we find very symptomatic
:
«Une
partie jouée et peinte est une improbable réalité. Réalité : car
elle a vraiment eut lieu ; avec un espace, même si celui-ci peut
se dématérialiser (partie sur Internet) ; avec des protagonistes,
même si ceux-ci peuvent être de natures différentes (ordinateur) ;
avec une durée, variable mais quantifiée. Certains de ces
éléments sont d'ailleurs intégrés dans le titre du tableau.
Improbable : car l'espace proposé est un état final que chaque
coup a modifié. Les joueurs n'y sont qu'infimement représentés,
une seule de leurs constructions mentales y apparaît. Le temps se
réduit à un instant mémorisant les traces superposées du
déplacement de chaque pièce sur la surface de l'échiquier,
support visuel du jeu. La partie jouée peinte s'apparente alors un
peu à une nature morte avec ses certitudes et ses Vanités.»
Dominique DIGEON, Hossegor, juin 1998
