Pseudo Scotch - Pure Madras presents the genealogical background of an Indian person, rather than of a Scott! Effectively, the fabrics look like scottish tartan, but are really so called "Madras" fabrics... For the story, this fabric's origins are to be found in the Indian subcontinent colonized by the British in the XVIIIth century, where tartan was among the favorites, notably with military men. It survived and developed there until the present day, respected the strict rules of tartan making, in parallel of the scottish and western production centers. I particularly love the bright colours of the Madras tartan style. Under tropical climate, light cotton has replaced the thick wool of the scottish Highlands. But what was my surprise when I discussed the point with an authentic Indian woman from Madras who told me those fabrics are never seen in Madras... but rather in the West Indies!

I am a French and Polish artist, born in Paris in 1972. Coming from a family of artists (my mother Julita is a sculptor, my sister Gabrielle a painter, my brother Pierre a music composer...) I've expressed myself in my childhood mainly through drawing. Then for many years I dropped art totally and went into studies and work, to realise a few years back I cannot live without creating. A peak time is my New York experience for a few month in 2008, where I briefly just plunged into creation, before coming back to what had become my normal everyday life... After that, this urge for creation has grown on me progressively until a recent making out in 2011, when returning from a very enriching experience as a plumber in Bangladesh slums, where I had spent about a year and a half... Quite lost at my return home, I can say I slowly came back to myself only through art. The action of sculpting was a highly restructuring experience to me.It rebuilt me and gave a new meaning to my life. Since then, I've been creating and considering myself as an artist. In the meantime I got married and am a father of adorable twin boys, born in 2016. With this parenthood experience my creation has necessarily evolved, I considered myself primarily as a sculptor, but with restricted time and access to my clay workshop in Touraine I had much frustration. Hence my latest sculpture projects with various materials including recyclables and rubbish, my recent return to drawing, my discovery of collage and also painting to a lesser extent. Today, another page will be turned with our installation mid 2017 in a new house in Saint Cloud, near Paris, with the possibility of having a workshop at home, and generally more space and more time dedicated to creation.
