Statement
“When I was a child and I fell, I quickly looked at my knee to see what it was like the wound. If the skin was cut or split, if I could spread the lips open a small injury, I felt a kind of jubilation. Of course, it burned, it was shaking a little teeth but this bloodshed was an opportunity to show bravery. If, against the skin was simply shredded, I grumbled. This meant that blood was coming, but slowly; he was slowly beading pores to form a crust. Less glorious than a genuine injury, the skin abraded surfaces were also significantly more painful. Later, during a fall from a roof, I had a similar experience. Me being straightened a fall from 4 meters height, I felt severe pain in the hip -­‐ which was, in truth, a simple bruise. But when I saw the blood spilled around me, the scene of the accident burst with a surreal intensity, I realized my shirt drenched in blood I was more seriously injured. I had the open skull but I felt absolutely nothing. Only my hip ached; for the rest, the nervous system seemed to have turned off the ignition and refuse to be subjected to a too violent stimulation. These souvenirs lead to a curious conclusion: indeed, it seems that pain is worse surface than depth. When the body is really cut, the attack is lightning, pain reached a very high intensity point almost instantly, after which it is canceled or decreases rapidly. Conversely, burns, irritation, badly healed wounds or extended to provide the body with subtle refinements and perpetual suffering; they run the gamut from high to diffuse straightforward to sneaky.” Hervé All Beside of my painfull experiences, my work is also inspired by antic civilisations, past and present mythologies, the Sci-­‐Fi, and the Weird Fiction of Lovecraft, and it’s historical Necronomicon Society, who, last summer 2015, offers me to exhibit some of my work in Providence RI, USA after a 6 month residency program. My painting may be affiliate to the artistic movement Figuration Libre and sometimes also to the painting of Jerome Bosch. The invisible world inspires a large part of my work and research. The plastic form of my work depends on the medium I choose to express my thought, in my mind, every single material used to create an artwork have an intrinsic significance, its carrying a specific history on its own and, by choosing this very special tool (Photography – Drawing – Sculpture -­‐ Installation) I transmit its history, impulsing a trajectory of meanings. A solid frame to drop my narrative. In the serie « Mythologie Personnelle» I combine symbols from antic civilisations with organic, humanoïde and technologic forms. Past and present beliefs come to meet them into the house of forms that appear to be in a process of extrem mutation, suspended as in the present, and that is when the observer that feeds this matrix with its own experience and its projection capability in the time of the artpiece. In « Ink Riot » the plastic form is created as a response to the agressive opinion and anti-­‐
universalisme that we can observe in the society of today. I combine various mediums more often Indian Ink, Acrylic and watercolor, sometime with some text surrounding the painting like in « Europe », inspired by the famous painting Guernica by the master Picasso about Spanish civil war (1936-­‐1939) beauty and social disaster, selfish and generosity but today it’s an Europ in crisis that I see and this artwork talk about cruelty and human disaster, refugees deshumanized by the missing of humanity of Europe.
