EDITORIAL
As we all know, today, information flows at the speed of a click on a keyboard or a swipe on a telephone screen. One piece of information, be it a picture or a video quickly gives way to another and social networks now seem to have become a bottomless well endlessly watered by these data streams. Who is in a position today to say whether this is a good or a bad thing? Perhaps we should rather see this as a genuine revolution that, brought to the scale of our watercolour world, could be compared to the invention of tube paints. It was thanks to these airtight containers filled with pre-prepared ready-to-use paint that outdoor painting flourished, leading to Impressionism and thus paving the way for modern art.
Plein-air watercolour is still basically practiced in the same way as Turner and his fellow artists did: a few brushes, a few colours and a sense of wonder in front of the subject, whatever it may be, which quickly becomes a need to paint it. On the other hand, what has changed today is the incredible platform provided by social media: many artists nowadays, their watercolours barely dry, promptly publish a photo of them, which will quickly travel the world.
The young generation of artists, such as Alexis Le Borgne to whom we have devoted a full feature in this issue of “The Art of Watercolour”, have perfectly assimilated this new dimension of watercolour: the latter spends a significant amount of time referencing his work on the Internet. For him, as for many others, production and promotion go hand in hand.
