10 place du Panthéon - Paris 5, 09h00

One of the 72 Facets of Paris, a series born of a piano waltz of the same name: the artist gave each of its seventy-two measures the harmony of a Parisian place at a given hour, then painted each harmony into colour and form through his ideamorphic method. The dance gathers pace through the morning. From the chord E♭7♯11 it draws the spirit of the Panthéon at nine — the great public dome of the hill: an orange block and blue, magenta and green, a white square against deep shadow, monumental and full of morning. It holds the square (column 4, row 4) of the mosaic, which fully assembled forms an abstract portrait of Paris.
