Le thème principal est le corps, illustré par des figures de statuaire que j'affectionne particulièrement et que j'explore dans différents médium (en BlockBook notamment...). Intitulé "Elévation(S)", il est formé de deux clusters (ensemble d'images pré-assemblées) dont une sculpture de Rodin "la Danaïde" et un buste de Néfertiti que l'on retrouve aussi sur un autre dessin. Ici, en élément principal se tient la figure où le groupe de Laocoon, cette image est démultiplier et se superposé à d'autre éléments : une image de serpent, allusion facile mais elle amène la circulation des formes vers le cluster précité...
C'est une composition chargée en citation mais de composition aérienne, aux tons légers (sable et indigo)
Le titre évoque pour moi un questionnement de la transcendance, illustré par ces corps habités par la douleur, l'abandon ou le poids d'une charge divine...

Visual artist, born in 1978 in Lille. currently lives in Caen, France.
I situate my work between a laboratory of forms (search for volume through drawing, painting and sculpture) and a tendency towards DIY (recycling of found objects and materials, transformation of their uses, reinvestment of their signs and questions about their subjects). I approach several mediums at the same time in order to extend the creative process to other fields of research: anthropology, natural sciences, etc.
The pooling of the two works like a small world with its own energy flows.
Usually I start with a series of sketches, notes and diagrams. I also rely on my reading, on a lot of images, which I feed on with bulimia. I exhaust their meanings until there is emulsion. This may explain the dreamy but also saturated appearance of my installations. Without cultivating a pessimistic view of the world, despite everything, I question our future through figures that are close to us, towards an imaginary that I wish to be collective; it is an opening onto a composition with multiple perspectives.
My recurring themes are environmental around the domus (house, private sphere/public sphere, hospital, etc.) and the extended living, according to a spatial questioning centered on the flow of energies, on magnetism and a set of enigmatic correlations.
