Psychedelic superstar... Painting

"Looking for the new psychedelic superstar" (Full title) is a painting created by contemporary French artist painter Eric Bourdon with acrylic art paint on an unstretched linen canvas (NO CHASSIS). Varnished artwork. "Looking for the new psychedelic superstar" is the largest work by the French painter Eric Bourdon. Created on a "floating" canvas, it hangs like a tapestry ! Improvisation is the only rule of the game, as with the other paintings. The improvised drawings are made with chalk, the paint comes little by little... It’s a kind of "music festival" whose title evokes a "reality television" competition. Singers and players of different instruments reveal their talents and compete in creativity in a forest to determine who will be the biggest star. The term "psychedelic" refers to the functioning of the brain in the use of hallucinogenic drugs which mobilize (involuntarily) the temporal lobes which are also used (this time consciously) in graphic improvisation. This is the process called "pareidolia" by which we identify, or imagine, significant characters or scenes by looking at blurry or chaotic visual content such as clouds, the surface of a tree trunk, ink stains... The big "psychedelic" star that is sought after is perhaps the best character improvised in this way. The linen canvas (600g/m²), each side of which is covered with 9 metal eyelets located 1-1,5cm from the edges, is fixed at the top by square bend screw hooks on a wooden bar which hangs on the wall using only 2 fixing points, exactly 1,5m apart from each other, at a height of 2,10m or more. The canvas is shipped rolled in a PVC tube inside a cardboard box.
