DÉCROCHAGES – Contemporary figurative painting by Alain Rouschmeyer

An abandoned bathroom, a space that still speaks

An empty bathroom.
Pipes hang loose, tiles crack, a solitary mask speaks of a time of absence and fragility.
And yet — something still holds.
A thin strip of light. A geometry under construction. A fragile form of order.

DÉCROCHAGES captures the precise moment before transformation:
the memory of a space, its past use, its intimacy.
Function fades, but presence remains.

A work about memory, perception and framing

Artistic approach

This painting belongs to a body of work exploring how ordinary spaces can become symbolic when we pay attention to their transition.

The bathroom becomes a kind of involuntary stage,
a place once useful now frozen — waiting to be renewed or forgotten.

It invites a double reading:
a real, architectural scene — and a fictional, emotional echo.

A subtle reflection on the art world

The title, DÉCROCHAGES (Disconnections), also alludes to the language of exhibitions:

What remains when a painting is taken down?
What defines value once the frame is gone?
Where does art reside — in the object, or in the space left behind?

Between soft critique and visual poetry, this work opens a space for reflection, both literal and metaphorical.

For architects, interior designers and curators

DÉCROCHAGES naturally resonates with those who design or rethink spaces:

public or private interiors,
reception areas, studios, cultural venues,
exhibition scenographies or bespoke commissions.

Its graphic rigor, raw materiality and evocation of architectural transformation make it a meaningful visual anchor for projects dealing with memory, place and tension.
