In this painting by Gaspard de Gouges in the center of the painting sits a black person with an Afro haircut and an eye patch. The model is Naomi Campbell posing for a fashion photographer. To his left stands a bare-chested man wearing sportswear and a pillowcase on his head. At the carnival in Rio while chatting with Brazilian friends, I learned that before carnival became an industry, young people from the favelas made themselves unrecognizable by using an old pillowcase. Obviously this improvised hood also refers to the Ku-Klux -Klan. In 2005 the southern United States, the cradle of slavery and segregation, was hit by Hurricane Katrina. So I mixed racism, black icon, tropical festival and contained violence. On the blue table in the foreground a giant pineapple hides the crotch of the hooded character, a knife is planted on the table. A threat hovers, enhanced by the deformed red hand of the third character, a tattooed colossus, from behind, which creates a background for the central character.

In diesem Gemälde von Gaspard de Gouges befindet sich in der Bildmitte eine schwarze Person mit Afro-Frisur und Augenklappe. Das Model ist Naomi Campbell, die für einen Modefotografen posiert. Links von ihm steht ein Mann mit nacktem Oberkörper, der Sportkleidung und einen Kissenbezug auf dem Kopf trägt. Beim Karneval in Rio erfuhr ich beim Plaudern mit brasilianischen Freunden, dass junge Leute aus den Favelas sich mit einem alten Kissenbezug unkenntlich machten, bevor der Karneval zur Industrie wurde. Offensichtlich bezieht sich diese improvisierte Haube auch auf den Ku-Klux-Klan. 2005 wurde der Süden der Vereinigten Staaten, die Wiege der Sklaverei und Segregation, vom Hurrikan Katrina heimgesucht. Also habe ich Rassismus, schwarze Ikone, tropisches Festival gemischt und Gewalt eingedämmt. Auf dem blauen Tisch im Vordergrund verbirgt eine riesige Ananas den Schritt der Kapuzenfigur, auf dem Tisch ist ein Messer gepflanzt. Eine drohende Bedrohung, verstärkt durch die deformierte rote Hand des dritten Charakters, eines tätowierten Kolosses, von hinten, der einen Hintergrund für den zentralen Charakter schafft.

Gaspard de Gouges lives and works in the Gard, between Montpellier and Marseille (France). He is a graduate of the National School of Decorative Arts in Paris. In the early 2000s, he began to paint large format figurative canvases, group portraits. Since 2021 he has devoted himself to photography, which has become a game for him, a kind of motionless journey.
"I started photographing scenes when I was 10 years old, with very realistic toys and models that I built with stalks of dry grass, miniature vehicles. For a long time I wanted to photograph islands, to their dreamlike power, I love to travel there and their memory persists. Their existence plunges us into an elsewhere. I imagined them tropical, but it is on mineral and Mediterranean islands that I finally decided to evoke. My approach is to create stagings, artificial but plausible, realistic landscapes. I create imaginary worlds, sometimes containing ruins, at least rocks that sometimes make me think of fortresses. These landscapes surprise me and always give me a lot of pleasure to create. "
