ABOUT THE ARTWORK
A totem animal if ever there was one, the cow is still being badly treated in the West. Once again and through his series entitled "Animals", Patrick Gourgouillat tries to make the animal world sacred. This simple portrait, like a photo booth, is a direct and realistic approach. The artist combines a certain classicism and modernity that he associates with Pop Art. In these acidulous colours (green and gold), "The Milky Way" uses popular codes: the gold circle as a reference to Russian icons and the subject itself as the cow remains the most "common" animal throughout the world. But this representation is not insignificant. Before the realization of this work, the artist meditated at length on what Nietzsche wrote: "If we do not convert and become like cows, we will not enter the kingdom of heaven. There's only one thing we should learn from them: to ruminate."

"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.
