Indiana Jones, héros ringard ? C’est ce que bien des critiques de cinéma pensaient avant la sortie du premier opus, « Les aventuriers de l’Arche perdue » : un personnage des années 1930, qui parcourt frénétiquement le monde, jamais cela n’aura le moindre succès à l’aube des années 1980. Qu’importe, George Lucas a crée le personnage, scénarise sa vie avec Philip Kaufman. Et c’est son grand ami Steven Spielberg que se charge de la réalisation. Au départ l’acteur principal devait être Nick Nolte, puis Tom Selleck. Mais il fallut les oublier. Steven proposa alors le nom d’Harrison Ford, mais George Lucas ne voulait pas que l’on réutilise son acteur fétiche de « Star wars ». Mais il n’y avait pas de meilleur choix et, à force de persuasion, George finit par accepter. Heureusement !

Indiana, c’est le nom du chien ? Effectivement, mais celui du chien de George Lucas de l’époque !

Au final, en 1981, « Les aventuriers de l’Arche perdue » devient un film culte, phénomène du box office, et d’autres épisodes verront le jour. Et oui, le talent de Steven Spielberg rencontre toujours le succès.

Pour cette nouvelle déclinaison pop art, j’ai choisi de me servir uniquement des trois premiers films ; période où Harrison Ford n’était pas encore trop âgé. Le fait que ne soit pas représentés la guerre où des soldats nazis est délibéré ; j’ai préféré associer les femmes des trois premiers films, Karen Allen, Kate Capshaw, l’épouse de Steven Spielberg, et Alisson Doody. Des femmes, qu’à l’image du cinéma d’aventures des années 1930, on venait « coller entre les pattes » du héros, histoire de compliquer un peu son action. Mais elles savaient aussi faire fondre l’aventurier et apportaient le romantisme. Je ne suis nullement misogyne, mais c’était ce que véhiculait le cinéma d’avant la Seconde Guerre mondiale...

Christian Girault is a contemporary French artist whose artistic journey began at the age of fourteen, when a drawing teacher introduced him to the tactile and reactive qualities of artistic materials. Captivated by their sensuality, Christian immersed himself in the experience, quickly abandoning gouache, pencil, and pastels for more dynamic mediums.

By the time he reached young adulthood, Christian had developed a strong technical foundation, often working from photographic inspirations. Notably, he transformed black-and-white photos into vivid color paintings, showcasing his artistic freedom and innovative approach.

In the 1980s, Christian’s work took on a new dimension with the integration of conceptual depth. This shift introduced a meticulous creative process, which he describes as "cinema on canvas"—a practice where he envisions a detailed scenario for his artwork, sometimes allowing ideas to mature for months before realizing them on canvas.

A passionate traveler, Christian’s explorations have deeply influenced his art, even pausing his production at times. His dedication to his craft has earned him recognition, with six awards from exhibitions celebrating his talent.

Christian’s versatility extends beyond painting; he is also a photographer and writer-traveler, embracing diverse forms of expression. While he thrives in the contemporary art scene, he resists being confined by trends and remains open to new possibilities. With a playful nod to the future, Christian notes that he is not yet a sculptor, leaving the door open for continued evolution in his artistic journey.
