“Saint Jean began this series with an analytical point of departure: how have historical archetypes shaped contemporary society, and how can these archetypes be reconfigured into neutral and universal applications? Imagining ‘archetypes’ as abstracted forms in themselves – social constructs whose meanings have blurred and degraded over time, Saint Jean neutralizes motifs found in classical paintings to the point where they exist only as embryonic fields of colour, gesture, line and shape.”
