In her latest essay LEARNING TO SEE, the point of view of the living (Editions Actes Sud) , Estelle Zhong Mengual, doctor of art history, offers a reflexion on our relationship to nature, to the living, through our history of art. "The western landscape painting would have [...] helped to crystallize our distanced relationship to the living world, representing it as standing in front of us, outside of us, in the form of a view to be contemplated. The use of linear perspective, recurrent in Western landscape painting, would have reinforced this feeling of human exteriority, by proposing an image that unfolds virtually from the eye of the viewer facing the painting, thus giving it a feeling of mastery of the represented space and thus of domination of nature". Estelle Zhong Mengual My "Human Nature" series does not places plants at a distance from humans but inside the faces of my characters. The question here is the union between several living categories. A living together where relations of domination and exploitation would no longer exist. It is about the conquest of a future of a humanity filled with nature, animality, vegetation, vitality, autonomy and freedom.

Painter, originally from Les Rousses in Haut-Jura (France), Caroline David now lives and works in Roubaix (Lille Metropolis - France) after a ten-year career abroad, in Hungary (Budapest) and then in China (Shanghai). She began painting in 2006 in Budapest (her city of heart) where she remained for 7 years. It was in Hungary that she became a full-time artist and exhibited her work for the first time, in a gallery and then at the French Institute of Budapest with the group of artists Quatu'Art. From her beginnings in painting, the digital era has been an obvious source of inspiration for the artist who also takes up questions of globalization and cultural clashes. In 2012, in China, the adaptation to the megalopolis of Shanghai, ultra artificial and extremely populated is difficult for this girl from the Jura mountains. She is involved as a curator on an exhibition of contemporary Chinese artists, carried by an international communication agency. But she must leave the country to flee the pollution that is endangering the life of her son. This period marks a decisive turning point that nourishes her artistic work and directs her even more to contemporary societal concerns such as urbanization, the restriction of wildlife areas, the question of a society driven by data, the transhumanism. In France since 2014, she presents her artwork in Lille, Paris and in her native Jura and several cities in Europe such as Lisbon in September 2022 In 2021, Caroline David's pictorial work invites humans to reconnect with their natural environment (earth, air, oceans, the elements, plants, other animals) and to free themselves from artificial and virtual destroyer worlds of which they are the authors. Towards rewilding!
