"The Blue Vltava" is a tribute to the Czech Republic in general and its capital in particular. This work attempts to bring together in a playful way some of the strong elements of this country. Thus we find "The brave soldier Chveik" alongside an evocation of the "Dancing House" in an abstract way. Franz Kafka's "Trial" is suggested by one half of a chess game. The soul of Jan Palach is precisely present in a ghostly round. The astronomical clock in Prague's Old Town Square is also evoked with a sympathetic skeleton offering its lantern. Finally, a carp, a favourite Czech festive dish, illuminates the whole place like a sun. This work by Patrick Gourgouillat was created following an old photograph found in his cardboard boxes: it shows the artist's mother posing in front of the river Vltava.

"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.
