About The Artwork

Antipater, le régent de Macédoine bat une coalition menée par le roi spartiate Agis III a la bataille de Megalopolis en 331 av. .J-C. Sparte négocie la paix avec Alexandre. Quand Alexandre commence sa campagne militaire contres les achéménides il dispose de 25 000 fantassins et 2 500 cavaliers, mais aussi des contingents de soldats grecs et de mercenaires, environ 3 000 cavaliers et 7 000 fantassins, dont des spartiates. Certains suivront Alexandre plus tard lors de sa campagne dans le Pendjab contre le roi indien Poros qu’il vaincra en 327. Au IVe siècle, le sort des bannis s’est alourdi d’une pénalité nouvelle, la confiscation des biens. C’est pourquoi les exilés grossissent fréquemment le rang des mercenaires. Alexandre le grand a mené des batailles célèbres en Inde, comme celle de l'Hydaspe en 326 av.J;C. et des mercenaires spartiates ont contribué à ses exploits et victoires. Acrylique sur toile H 66,5 x L 82,5 cm Antipater, the regent of Macedon defeats a coalition led by the Spartan king Agis III at the Battle of Megalopolis in 331 BC. .J-C. Sparta negotiates peace with Alexander. When Alexander began his military campaign against the Achaemenids he had 25,000 infantry and 2,500 cavalry, but also contingents of Greek soldiers and mercenaries, around 3,000 cavalry and 7,000 infantry, including Spartans. Some will follow Alexander later during his campaign in the Punjab against the Indian king Poros whom he will defeat in 327. In the 4th century, the fate of the banished was weighed down by a new penalty, the confiscation of property. This is why exiles frequently swell the ranks of mercenaries. Alexander the Great fought famous battles in India, such as that of Hydaspes in 326 BC. and Spartan mercenaries contributed to his exploits and victories.

La culture occidentale a pour principe de considérer qu’une œuvre picturale et ou plastique est le résultat d’un acte cérébral premier et serait en quelque sorte que l’illustration de cet acte primordiale logocratique qui va définir avec précision ce que la main de l’artiste devra réaliser. Esprit de contradiction ou simplement déviance, j’ai toujours procédé d’une autre manière et plus particulièrement pour mes dessins où je laisse main produire une image de façon quasi automatique et surtout sans réfléchir. Je signe et date le dessin, puis je laisse murir « la chose » quelques temps avant de lui attribuer un titre qui se veut une possibilité parmi d’autres et pourrait donc tout à fait être différent s’il avait été définit un autre jour. Ce titre tient plus ou moins compte de ce que le dessin et où l’œuvre plastique montre d’éléments qui pourraient être signifiants et ou en tous les cas pourraient donner lieu à une « interprétation littéraire », même si elle reste très fortement aléatoire. Western culture has for principle to consider that a pictorial and or plastic work of art is the result of a first cerebral act and would be in a way that the illustration of this primordial logocratic act which will define with precision what the hand of the artist will have to realize. Spirit of contradiction or simply deviance, I have always proceeded in another way and more particularly for my drawings where I let my hand produce an image almost automatically and above all without thinking. I sign and date the drawing, then I let "the thing" mature for a while before giving it a title which is meant to be one possibility among others and could therefore be quite different if it had been defined on another day. This title more or less takes into account what the drawing and where the plastic work shows elements that could be significant and or in any case could give rise to a "literary interpretation", even if it remains very highly uncertain.
