ABOUT THE ARTWORK

With this collage I wanted to pay homage to the immense artist Anselm Kiefer, but everything is against it: the dimensions versus gigantism, the enormous format of the canvases (for those who visited his exhibition at the MOMA in New York), and the poverty of paper while everything about him is concrete, steel, ruins, carcasses of tanks, planes... You have to visit his workshop-Musée de la Ribaute, a monumental theater of 40 hectares, in Barjac in my native Cévennes to see it grasp the indescribable. Unforgettable visit! In this case, then, my goal would be achieved. You should also see the film dedicated to him. The collage uses part of a poster by A. Kiefer, associated with elements of German Expressionism; it is a world in fusion which collapses, on a young woman, whose gesture seems to underline the inanity of my approach.

I was born in Le Vigan, small town in the South of France. I studied at the Universty of Montpellier Pharmacy and Medecine. I owe to Marc Dautry, classic engraver and sculptor (Montauban), to have been very early initiated to the field of Art. Later I met the surrealist painter, Bernard Louedin (Trebeurden), and developped a passion for this movement. I live and work now in Haute-Savoie near Annecy (France) and Geneva (Switzerland). At first glance my activity as Dr in medical biology did not predispose me to the practice of collage and photomontage if not my passion for Art,photography, surrealism, specially Man Ray, Dora Maar, Lee Miller, Max Ernst, Magritte and Hannah Hoch. My meeting with Josephine Sacabo, american photographer, was decisive; she introduced me to this art, and incited me to "always shift forward the reality". And this the way each of my collages is inspired by transposing fragments of live, where feelings, fantasies, and personal concerns are mingled. Beyond the resear that each project involves (magazines of art or photography, newspapers, photos, advertisings), beyond the time splent for realizig the work, beyond aesthetic concerns, the final result often emerges from these contengencies, and escape from the original idea, to become another, only remains the sincerity.
