About The Artwork
"Bruno & Bertrand_Feat. Brad Davis in "Querelle" by Rainer Werner Fassbinder" is a tribute by Patrick Gourgouillat to a gay couple who have now passed away. On a platform, the two characters are dressed in a kind of striped pyjamas: a kind of evocation of the clothes worn by the deportees during the Second World War. On other platforms, unclothed men are dancing carelessly. This is reminiscent of an LGBT pride parade, somewhere in a free country where it is possible to openly and freely display your homosexuality. "Bruno & Bertrand' combines fantasy and tragedy. The artist tries to evoke the futility but also the drama of life. Black butterflies prowl around this scene mixing joy, freedom and pride. These insects flutter around randomly in the manner of a fatal virus. In the foreground, dinosaurs out of a B-movie, call out. Are they threats? Are they the friendly guardians of this almost surreal celebration? The actor Brad Davis from R.W. Fassbinder's "Querelle" appears as a stencil in a nod to gay culture. "It's not easy to represent painful memories. As usual, I always choose a joyful, colourful angle, but always with depth," says Patrick Gourgouillat about this typical work from the "Viva La Vida" series.

"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.
