Exhibition - Quantum variations

The work of Thierry Daudier de Cassini, a painter from Neufchâteau and a disciple of lyrical abstraction, is distinguished by a unique exploration where the concepts of the quantum vacuum and the Taoist vacuum meet and dialogue. This fusion of modern physics and ancient Eastern philosophy offers a conceptual and visual richness to his artistic approach.

The quantum vacuum, derived from theoretical physics, is a concept that defies intuition: it describes a low-energy state in which ephemeral particles and antiparticles continually appear and disappear. This idea of a void that is never truly empty, but vibrant with activity and potential, resonates with the principles of the Taoist void, which sees the void as the source of all existence and a space filled with infinite potential.

In Thierry Daudier de Cassini's lyrical abstraction, this interpretation of the void manifests itself in dynamic compositions where movement and light seem to emerge from the invisible to take shape on the canvas. His works can be seen as attempts to visualise the invisible, to give form to the subtle fluctuations of the quantum vacuum while drawing inspiration from the serenity and philosophical depth of the Taoist void.
