Rue de Rennes - Paris 6, 11h20

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. Here the waltz reaches its midday height, at its warmest and most luminous. From the chord GMaj7 it draws the spirit of the rue de Rennes at twenty past eleven: olive-green uprights, orange and a black block, a white square on grey — long façades in full light. It holds the square (column 5, row 3) of the mosaic, which fully assembled forms an abstract portrait of Paris.
