Painting, black chalk on Wood
Size: 7.1 W x 11 H x 0.4 D in
Ships in a Box
Black chalk, oil pastel and white marker on Atlas page pasted on plywood I was inspired by a fake picture of an elephant perched on a small tree. The flooding (high water) suggests an imminent disaster, but the elephant remains oblivious of it like a playful and reckless child. Everything is possible if you believe so, and an elephant can climb on a tree and remains there, like "The Baron in the Trees" from the Italian writer Italo Calvino. This painting belongs to a series on the same theme. The colours of the painting are those of the oil pastel and those of the Atlas page. The special surface effects are obtained with the use of sandpaper on the surface of the plywood. Pasted Kraft paper lines the sides of the plywood panel Hanging hardware screwed on the back The painting can also be framed in a shadow box with or without glass.

France
I currently live and work in Toulouse, SW France, the region where I was born in 1963.. Trained as a scientist I practised for some time as a part-time veterinary surgeon. As a self-taught artist (thanks to all those who helped and guided me), my first works were marble and bronze sculptures of wild animals - my ambition at the time was to produce objects of beauty. Then my scientific background and a better knowledge of art history drove me to explore the living and artistic worlds more deeply, together with the need to “use” animals to represent various facets of human behaviour. Thus appeared animal, anatomical and organic figures for which metamorphosis and hybridization are often central themes. While I like to work with different mediums and materials depending on my creational purpose, wax has come to predominate for me in both sculpture and painting. I also currently work with artist Luc Laumet, one notable example being our recent Drawing correspondence: 260 drawing exchanged beetween 14 December 2016 and 5 December 2017 http://pierrefauret.com/dessins-croises/ ....................................................................................
