Lampedusa est connue pour le repêchage des migrants rescapés de terribles traversées. Ces naufragés symbolisent aujourd’hui tous les abandonnés de la terre.
Pour construire ce tableau synchronistique, je me suis reapproprié des fragments de deux œuvres dont le sujet mythologique est en rapport direct avec un abandon : l’abandon de Didon par Énée (Jean Souverbie, Didon et Énée, huile de 1931), et celui d’Ariane par Thésée (Thésée abandonne Ariane, fresque de la maison Méléagre à Pompéi, 1er siècle ap. J-C). Quant au couché de soleil, il n’est en vérité que le reflet inversé d’un des derniers nymphéas de Monet (Claude Monet, Nymphéas, le soir, panneau de gauche, 1920-26, Kunsthaus, Zurich).

Gilles Chambon is a contemporary French painter. After creating fantastic cities in watercolor, he moved on to oil painting, reinterpreting classical painters' topics in an eccentric manner. Since 2014, he has begun practicing synchronistic painting, which consists of a telescoping, in each painting, of fragments borrowed from the history of painting and reinterpreted. 

The painted image still has a magical effect on Chambon. His creative method centers on the investigation of the connections between ancient and contemporary works, producing new poetry that he refers to as synchronistic painting. Chambon exhibited his works nationally, as well as internationally in China, Japan, Belgium and Spain. In 2018, he obtained the bronze medal at the 228th Salon des Artistes Français for one of his paintings.
