“I began with the headlights. Two chrome rounds staring straight ahead, and above them someone who has closed her eyes: it is the car keeping watch, not her. The rest of the work was holding the yellow of the neon without letting it turn warm. The white shirt is the only part of the canvas it does not quite reach; I was set on that. An underground car park has no hour, no window, no season — in principle, no one sleeps there. She sleeps there all the same, or pretends to, her head thrown back on bodywork that has kept the engine’s warmth. I do not know whether it is the start of the evening or the end, and I do not think it matters much. What I wanted to paint is the place where you stop when there is no longer any place meant for it.”

— Le Yack

A grey saloon at a standstill in an underground car park; on the bonnet, a woman lying back, white shirt open, black stockings, head thrown back and eyes closed. The neon lays a signal yellow over the bodywork, the pillars and the concrete, which the steel grey and anthracite absorb. The chrome grille and the two round headlights fill the whole lower part of the 60 × 60 cm square.
