Eric Gaquère Jâho
I am from Rouen in Normandy.
Amblyopic by birth, I do not see the world in relief, and very early on, I identify with the god Odin, who like me, relates the legend, gave one of his eyes to the giant Mimir in order to have access to the original source of awareness.
In my child's room, I take refuge in my drawings, my poems, my alchemy books, and try to decipher and represent on paper the messages that spirits seem to whisper to me.
For 48 years, my on-board imagination has made me constantly scribble on paper these most disturbing images.
I have not received any artistic training, but alone in my corner for 12 years, in an exhibition workshop located in the heart of the Massif des Ecrins, I build my graphic universe that I expose to the eyes of tourists and locals.
Contemporary drawing?
Singular art?
I give my artist tongue to my cat.
My work, very codified, has its roots in the 4 elements of alchemy, surrealism, shamanism, cave art, primitive or even aboriginal art which form the core of my style that I call "futuristic rupestro ".
I created for each element of nature a specific graphic done with the micron point on watercolor paper.
This first phase is for me the abstract framework, the DNA of the life of the work. A Zen work lasting several tens of hours in which I literally feel absent.
Then comes the second phase, the passage of color using colored ink markers, which, by transparency, reveal the graphics and accentuate the presence of animal forms, the signs, which I have just placed on the elementary bricks of my world.
Here, the work is born, and can finally, in silence, make its way to the soul of the spectator in order to distill its secret alchemical there.
