ABOUT THE ARTWORK

The main source of inspiration for "Chats gris" remains the artist's three cats that roam his studio. Patrick Gourgouillat, a cat lover, has tried to represent the feline enigma. To do so, he used other inspiring sources such as the Prague astronomical clock and a short novel by the French inventor and poet Charles Cros. The colours used are blue, orange and grey, all of which have strong symbolic values. In oriental cultures, grey cats are a symbol of good fortune... As a moon, Patrick Gourgouillat painted a QR code in a circle. A writing as mysterious as a hieroglyph.

"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.
