"Jump! [Viva La Vida]" Drawing

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.
