"The expanses of colors obtained by triturating the pigments and binders that Jean-Louis KOLB has been offering us for more than thirty years now follow each other, resemble each other and come together by producing the difference in the repetition". "The surface is there and, in its vibrations, it expresses the real as the physical and psychic state of the present and of the memory that the significance of the world creates. It is the advance of the subject in time which is given to live and signifies itself in the overflowing materiality - chaotic and auratic - of the painted surface, shaping the image of a vertiginous crossing of temporality where head and body tirelessly expel their overflow of consciousness into the world". ​
