Gilles Roux 

My name is Gilles Georges Roux. I was born on March sixteenth, nineteen hundred and fifty-five, in Saint Tropez, where I lived throughout my youth. I then studied at the School of Fine Arts in Macon (71) before leaving for Italy where I have lived for forty years now, first in Bologna, then in Elbe, and currently in Rome.

My aesthetic research, since it is a research in question, consists of searching for ideas of forms, which I call “morpho concepts” and interpreting them in an aesthetic key.

The resulting works have great coherence, conceptual in the first place, but also formal, a single format (100×70) a single technique (colored pencils on black paper, white ink graphics).

More than the search for the effect, it is the rendering of the idea that interests me.
In my work we can distinguish two very distinct “lines”:

The Shape of Time rather centers on concepts from general relativity (bands of seasons symbolizing the passage of time are distorted by gravity, for example).
Quantum butterflies. In this series, I symbolize subatomic particles or energy quanta with butterflies (for example, we will have a bundle of purple butterfly quanta which divide as they pass through the interior of a crystal into a cascade of butterfly quanta). ‘lower yellow then red energies).

« INTERPRETATION À MULTIMONDES » Cette interprétation de la mécanique quantique a été développée pour la première fois par le physicien américain Paul Everett qui a proposé l’hypothèse que la fonction d’onde Phi de Schrodinger ne colla pas au moment de la mesure mais que l’univers se divise en deux branches correspondantes aux deux possibilités de lecture.

“MULTI-WORLD INTERPRETATION” This interpretation of quantum mechanics was first developed by the American physicist Paul Everett who proposed the hypothesis that Schrodinger’s Phi wave function did not stick at the time of measurement but that the The universe is divided into two branches corresponding to the two reading possibilities.

« LES PAPILLONS DE SCHRODINGER » L'œuvre est une variation du célèbre "chat de Schrödinger", mais dans ce cas la différence d'état est mise en valeur par le changement de couleur du papillon qui passe du bleu au violet, dans une branche de l'univers bleu et dans une autre violette.

“SCHRODINGER’S BUTTERFLIES” The work is a variation of the famous “Schrödinger’s cat”, but in this case the difference in state is highlighted by the change in color of the butterfly which goes from blue to purple, in a branch of the blue universe and in another purple one.

« PHOTONS - PAPILLONS POLARISÉS » Le dessin se lit de gauche à droite (futur passé). Au début les papillons sont dans le chaos, puis ils traversent le cristal polarisant vertical bleu qui sélectionne uniquement les papillons en position verticale. Au lieu de cela, en traversant le cristal polarisant vert, ils ressortent tous en position horizontale. En passant enfin par le cristal polarisant violet, les papillons sortent à 45 degrés.

“PHOTONS – POLARIZED BUTTERFLIES” The drawing is read from left to right (future past). At first the butterflies are in chaos, then they pass through the blue vertical polarizing crystal which only selects butterflies in a vertical position. Instead, when passing through the green polarizing crystal, they all come out in a horizontal position. Finally passing through the purple polarizing crystal, the butterflies come out at 45 degrees.

« NIVEAUX DISCRETS D'EXISTENCE » Ce paysage spatio-temporel s’inspire aux niveaux d’énergie discrets que décrit la mécanique quantique autour du noyau atomique les orbitales permirent sont déterminées par leur vibration (le nombre de cycles complets possibles dans une orbite). Dans ce dessin, on considère un niveau minimum (l’électron oscillant est symbolisé par un paysage dont la dimension temporelle est donnée par les saisons.

“DISCRETE LEVELS OF EXISTENCE” This spatio-temporal landscape is inspired by the discrete energy levels described by quantum mechanics around the atomic nucleus. Permirent orbitals are determined by their vibration (the number of complete cycles possible in an orbit). In this drawing, we consider a minimum level (the oscillating electron is symbolized by a landscape whose temporal dimension is given by the seasons.

« TEMPS DE LA RELATIVITÉ DES MONTAGNES » Le temps passe plus vite en haut que vers le bas (la force gravitationnelle diminue la vitesse du temps). Dans ce dessin, le temps représenté localement par ses quatre saisons passe plus vite au sommet de la montagne (rayures multi-saisons) qu'à son pied.

“MOUNTAIN RELATIVITY TIME” Time passes faster up than down (the gravitational force decreases the speed of time). In this drawing, time represented locally by its four seasons passes more quickly at the top of the mountain (multi-season stripes) than at its foot.

« TEMPS CYCLIQUE » Dans ce dessin on imagine que le temps soit circulaire. La séquence temporelle se lit de gauche a droite a travers le développement des saisons mais en même temps de bas en haut le temps dans ce cas est inscrit sur un triangle impossible de EISHER.

“CYCLICAL TIME” In this drawing we imagine that time is circular. The temporal sequence is read from left to right through the development of the seasons but at the same time from bottom to top, time in this case is inscribed on an impossible EISHER triangle.

« VITESSE VARIABLE DE LA LUMIERE » Dans ce dessin l’espace temps est défini par un cône de lumière passé (1. dimension-temps, 2. dimensions type espace longueur largeur, le passé est en bas, le présent en haut. Tout l'univers visible est immergé dans le cône de lumière.

“VARIABLE SPEED OF LIGHT” In this drawing space time is defined by a past cone of light (1. dimension-time, 2. dimensions type space length width, the past is at the bottom, the present at the top. All l The visible universe is immersed in the cone of light.

« TEMPS RELATIF - PRESENT ETENDU » Temps relativiste présent étendu, ce dessin présente le concept de présent étendu typique de la relativité c’est un temps qui se situe entre le cône passé et celui futur au point présent. Il est nul et s’accroit au fur et à mesure qu’on s’éloigne sur la dimension de type espace.

“RELATIVE TIME – EXTENDED PRESENT” Extended present relativistic time, this drawing presents the concept of extended present typical of relativity, it is a time which is located between the past cone and the future cone at the present point. It is zero and increases as we move away from the space-like dimension.
