The creative process is simple: associate two words (often without correlation between them) from a dream, a thought, an emotion. In "Jump! "it is the words " Souvenir " and " Jump ". Collector of small souvenirs brought back from various journeys, Patrick Gourgouillat has focused here on a stylised interpretation of a snowball too often perceived as a kitsch object. From this object, he makes it the theme of the work: the winter holidays. Here, time is symbolised by a graphic form evoking an hourglass. The season follows a precise time span: from the fall to the melting of the snow. It is during this white and cold period that everything revolves around the ski slopes in the mountains. If the cold and whiteness can grow back, Patrick Gourgouillat represents a skier inside the snowball itself. A safe cocoon if ever there was one, the character remains sheltered from danger: from wolves or other monstrous beasts and from the infernal spiral of avalanches. To create "Jump! "Patrick Gourgouillat was inspired by the works of the American Richard Lindner. As for the colours, the artist draws from the Pop Art palette, but what was important to him was to evoke the winter holidays in a fun and direct way.

"Everything is important, everything is beautiful, everything is sad. Where do we start if we choose to tell life and make it a work of art? Michèle Mailhot My work is eclectic, both in its form and in the use of media. In general, I work in "series". I think that one of the ways of making things interesting is through diversity: the styles as well as the techniques are varied. It can be the animal world [The Animals], societal criticism [Human Behaviour], comic strip-like drawing [Mr Doggy], crazy images as if from a dream or nightmare [Short Stories], gentle melancholy [Sky Blue] or, based on my own experience, phantasmagorical worlds in a dazzling frenzy [Viva La Vida]. I am currently working on the latter series. These series are very different from each other. What interests me are the variations in energy that they imply for me. So I go from one thing to another like one goes through experiences. This is often what happens in art in general and in life in particular.
