The hypersensitivity Usle describes is a kind of visionary state,
but it is one that is painful - and memorable precisely because it
is painful. When we see certain paintings of Usle's that use
bright, intense, searing colours, shouldn't we think of this early
encounter with one of those states of being that suddenly and
dramatically remove us from our everyday mode of perception - one
of those events that teach us that everything we perceive might be
perceived entirely differently, given even a small modification of
the perceptual apparatus we normally take for granted? There are
certain paintings by Usle, very complicated ones, that might well
remind us of the experience of peering into a kaleidoscope, and
while this is not to say that we are therefore to imagine that we
should also find the sight of these paintings painful - far from
it! no more than, not having suffered sunstroke, we would find
looking through a kaleidoscope painful - it is helpful to be
reminded that such experiences, in which there is a visual clamour
beyond what we are used to being subject to, may not be easy or
comfortable ones, and therefore they are only a step away, albeit a
crucial step, from being painful. They are a little too much, and
therefore they put pressure on our aesthetic expectations. This is
Usle's pictorial equivalent of Rimbaud's famous "dereglement de
tous les sens."
