Brasseries des Champs-Élysées - Paris 8, 19h40

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 waltz turns warm and slow in the evening. From the chord G♭7 it draws the spirit of the cafés of the Champs-Élysées at twenty to eight: a grey arc and yellow-green, a blue disc and teal — the avenue's evening buzz. It holds the square (column 8, row 4) of the mosaic, which fully assembled forms an abstract portrait of Paris.
