L\u2019une porte un maillot rouge, l\u2019autre un d\u00e9bardeur bleu et un pagne imprim\u00e9. Le fond est d\u2019un bleu p\u00e2le, presque a\u00e9rien. Mais les corps, eux, sont lourds; la peau est faite d\u2019une mati\u00e8re sombre et dense, travers\u00e9e de coulures et d\u2019incisions, comme une terre craquel\u00e9e. C\u2019est l\u2019une des toiles de la s\u00e9rie \u00ab&nbsp;Port\u00e9&nbsp;\u00bb de Jessy Dunga.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A painting of confrontation<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dunga travaille en technique mixte; caf\u00e9, fusain et acrylique sur toile. Le caf\u00e9, mati\u00e8re du quotidien et produit de la terre, donne aux chairs une profondeur brune et mate&nbsp;; le fusain les creuse&nbsp;; l\u2019acrylique, r\u00e9serv\u00e9e aux v\u00eatements, \u00e9clate en couleurs franches. Entre la mati\u00e8re brute des corps et la vivacit\u00e9 des \u00e9toffes, la toile devient un champ de forces o\u00f9 la couleur lutte contre l\u2019effacement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each canvas operates as a geological and social map in which the human body and the landscape become one.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Ce que je porte<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Dans \u00ab&nbsp;Ce que je porte&nbsp;\u00bb (110 \u00d7 100 cm), une jeune figure se retourne vers nous, un sac au dos. Autour d\u2019elle, des \u00e9claboussures brunes constellent le fond blanc. Le titre d\u00e9place la question&nbsp;de ce que l\u2019on porte, ce n\u2019est pas qu&rsquo;sac, c\u2019est aussi une histoire, une charge, une responsabilit\u00e9 transmise. Le regard, frontal, refuse la piti\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Resilience as a pictorial condition<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">La pratique de Dunga refuse l\u2019esth\u00e9tisation passive de la crise. Elle l\u2019inscrit dans la mati\u00e8re m\u00eame, dans ces emp\u00e2tements denses qui tiennent debout malgr\u00e9 les incisions. Les corps portent le paysage, et le paysage porte les corps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"894\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/regartmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3201-894x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1255\" style=\"aspect-ratio:0.8730606231470198;width:561px;height:auto\" srcset=\"https:\/\/regartmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3201-894x1024.jpg 894w, https:\/\/regartmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3201-262x300.jpg 262w, https:\/\/regartmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3201-768x880.jpg 768w, https:\/\/regartmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3201-10x12.jpg 10w, https:\/\/regartmag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/IMG_3201.jpg 1157w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 894px) 100vw, 894px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Screenshot<\/figcaption><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Coffee, charcoal, acrylic: in the \u201cPort\u00e9\u201d series, Jessy Dunga makes raw matter the seat of the political and environmental tensions of the contemporary Congo.
