fantasmes (2020) Collages by Hugues Elbe

Hugues Elbe has always been passionate about the visual arts.

What the child cannot express in words is often found in his drawings.

Sometimes the child becomes an artist.

This Passion was nourished over the course of his studies (normal school in the 1970s), his profession as a teacher (we can learn a lot from the eyes of children), and like everyone, from what he found in throughout his life in his daily environment, his travels, his encounters and the multiplicity of existing works.

What can inspire desire, joy, indignation, revolt is a source of creation.

The incomprehension in front of the absurd part of the world and of life also takes on a lot of importance.

He therefore does not conceive of the image as a decoration but as an expression beyond words.

The technique is there only to sublimate the intention.

His supports used are photography, digital montages, various collages and acrylic painting,…, if only for the pleasure of this always singular contact with the material.

Today, he devotes himself fully to these expressions.
