Wanderings – Jicé

Analysis of the work Vagabondages by Jicé

In Vagabondages , Jicé creates an urban scene where the monumentality of a bridge contrasts with the discreet presence of two human figures. The composition is dominated by this imposing structure which crosses the canvas, with its angular lines and its massive volumes. The bridge, in its grandeur, seems to crush the scene with its weight, symbolizing both the strength of modern infrastructure and the impact of urban planning on the environment.

The color palette, composed of earthy tones, gray and beige, evokes a twilight, even melancholic atmosphere. The subdued light, reflecting lightly on the water and on the surface of the damp ground, subtly displays plays of light and shadow. The two dark silhouettes at the bottom left reinforce this feeling of solitude and introspection. They wander, without any apparent precise aim, under this imposing structure. They embody the idea of ​​wandering, quest or perhaps wandering.

The painting, with its brushstrokes, gives material effects. Jicé manages to create a sensation of movement: the urban landscape, although static, seems alive.
