IN SEARCH OF PARADISE
It is a renewed pleasure to be immersed in Aldéhy’s
world. As in his “cathedrals of light”, the magic
operates at first glance.
At the heart of this work, a deep stream purifying
and magnifying the earth, perfect beauty of an unalterated,
god-given planet. The painting is bathed in the
various fading lights of sunsets or the glorious
lights of primeval dawns. Each ray reverberating
and echoing man’s questioning of the world.
Flooded with light, the earth is a perpetual festival
scenery, where every wish comes true, every hope
ends in creation and achievement.
We are invited to a festival of colours and with
the following of seasons, and as time passes, we
meet the characters of the bible: Adam, Eve, Cain
and Abel.
Adam, Eve, Cain and Abel have been chased away from
paradise, they walk along a stream thinking they
might get back to the eden they have lost.
Finally,they arrive on the earth and little by little,
they realize that this earth that was supposed to
be punishment is in fact a precious jewel that god
has given them, they must take great care of that
gift, it is their last chance to achieve happiness.
Water and the stream which becomes a river which
eventually merges into the sea is a sort of Ariadne’s
thread in this new project.
