"What unites Matthias Schaareman and Tilt is certainly the idea of the fragment. These two artists, in their own way, work as archaeologists, collecting traces, construction remains and details, objects, signatures of a still recent presence, stories of which there is almost nothing left (a priori) and other proofs of a passage, of a trace of life, even if fleeting, capable of enlightening the present.
Matthias Schaareman and Tilt - the first with gouaches on paper and the second with fragments of his own works in spray paint and acrylic on the wall - simply and assuredly tell us that nothing is lost, but above all, that nothing is lost. In these times of ruptures, fragmentation, opposition and compartmentalization of our daily life and of what should logically make sense, the two artists question themselves and us on the notions and stakes of the aesthetic coherence and cohesion, and thus "of the bond of necessity".
