In may and june 2008, I will realize a new stuff made out cardboard...A big herbarium book, with the commun plants of the famous Montreuil' gardens. Working with "LÉZ'ARTS dans les Murs" association. Our main aims are to preserve environment, to inform people,about a new economy, ecology, through artistic events. This garden is in the "MURS A PÈCHES" place, a free vegetalized site of 40 hectares. En mai et juin 2008, je vais réaliser une création en carton: un herbier géant. Travaillant avec une association nommée "LÉZ'ARTS dans les MURS" , notre principal but est de préserver l'environnement, d'informer le public, au sujet d'une nouvelle économie, à travers des évènements artistiques. Ce jardin se trouve sur le site des "Murs À Pèches" de Montreuil , au milieu de 40 hectares, végétalisés.

Water colours, my first technic, drawing with ink and then colored with water colours.
This isle is so beautiful, the light so extreme, the colours so enlighted, that I tried for long years to illustrate this place.
I dream about very watered lavis, nearly hard to perceive, but I'm drawing with a strong reveal of details which structures, help, instead.
Van Gogh said that " painting is harder than passing through a steel wall..."

Made out of cardboard pages which is recycled material, some simple plants like nettles,sticked on the page with his major phytothérapy, botanical, new and old ecological uses.This work is based on sharing knowledge, giving informations to all publics.Neetles for exemple which is 40% of vegetal proteins, and an anti-pollution greens.This herbarium is made to be used as an educative support.Large and easy to watch, his future is to go from hands to hands.Made for Léz'arts dans les Murs 71 r Pierre de Montreuil, Montreuil, Rendez vous au Jardin 2008.
This herbarium will show some of the commun plants of this atypic garden, in the urbansite of Montreuil, known as "Peach's Walls".
On the place, which used to be, old vegetables and fruits gardens, squarred by walls,many associations, work on the environment protection, with different main topics, like growing,planting, gardening, but also,ecological technics showing and working, like Dry Toilets.
Many Arts works, paintings exhibitions, concerts, but especially Workshops, Animations, differents welcomings
in such a different place.

I'll say that my main philosophy is to believe in " artherapy" for everybody including me.
After a long contemplation, and autodidact works, I become more and more symbolic and practical.
My paints and arts are involved in nature, in the symbolic of " Mother Earth", "Global Warming",
but using cardboard, sands, wood, leaves,natural materials, is a ternary work,especially in workshops, animations,with people.

Nobody learned me to use cardboard, before I made my first frame.
This is more the graal of using a recycled natural material which comes from wood.
Then the trip in mind to make everything in cardboard came and will never disapear.
This is a huge free land, meanwhile we're so many to use cardboard, from Japon to Canada.
My paintings take the same way, using natural stuffs, like sand and vegetals.
