Energy Chrysalis

Historic site and monument, Historic patrimony, Fresco/wall painting, Street art in Notre-Dame-de-Bellecombe
  • Lausanne artist CRBZ offers a calligraphy that is most often abstract. With his brushes and spray paint, he plays to build a movement, a dynamic of form inviting the viewer to daydream and free interpretation.

  • First, there is this blue, deep, dense, almost liquid. It envelops the surface like a bottomless night, a screen where something surfaces, ready to hatch. Then come the white bursts, nervous, elusive. They pierce the material, crack it, free it.
    One might think of a breath, a wave captured in full bloom. But as the eye lingers, the image unravels, reforms differently. What seemed motionless becomes movement. What appeared crystallized begins to vibrate. The lines fray at the edges, as if...
    First, there is this blue, deep, dense, almost liquid. It envelops the surface like a bottomless night, a screen where something surfaces, ready to hatch. Then come the white bursts, nervous, elusive. They pierce the material, crack it, free it.
    One might think of a breath, a wave captured in full bloom. But as the eye lingers, the image unravels, reforms differently. What seemed motionless becomes movement. What appeared crystallized begins to vibrate. The lines fray at the edges, as if the work were trying to escape from its support.
    The old transformer becomes a chrysalis, a space of metamorphosis where raw energy is channeled, softened, and disseminated. CRBZ makes it the receptacle of a new impulse, which spreads across the surface and unfolds in a continuous flow. A master of calligraffiti, he pushes the letter to the edge of abstraction. Rather than a message, he instills a rhythm, a vibration that blends into the landscape.
    Each brushstroke, each swirl, dialogues with the silence of the treetops, with the shiver of the wind in the spruce trees. Depending on the angle and the light, the lines become denser or fade, a beat suspended between the visible and the invisible.
    In this village of Notre-Dame-de-Bellecombe, where authenticity blends with nature, his gesture readjusts our way of understanding the world. Art imposes a new cartography of vision, intrudes on the margins of everyday life, and emerges where no one expects it.
    The old transformer comes to life, like an abandoned body being revived. In this imperceptible surge, it disrupts our perception of energy—the energy that connects us to the land.
