ABOUT THE ARTWORK
"Fin d'été" is made up of pictorial elements taken from the "Le troisième mois" series by artist Patrick Gourgouillat. Here, the artist uses the cicada from "Deux" as the central motif. Patrick Gourgouillat drew his inspiration from a fable by the French poet Jean de La Fontaine, "The Cicada and the Ant", but here the cicada perpetuates summer with its flow of joy and music. The ants are represented underground by frozen tumblers. A clown, a figure from one of the artist's [Viva La Vida] series, looks on with a disillusioned air. In 'Fin d'été', Patrick Gourgouillat talks about the ephemeral and the passage of time. Technically, it consists of paper printed in black, cut out and glued to canvas. The glued motifs are then enhanced with black acrylic, as if to fix the intensity of the nuance. Hand-drawn elements in black, gold and orange are then added to the composition. The whole piece is covered with a matt varnish.

"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.
