Right Upper Cut Painting

I work on the contemporary western male identity. Today, it is seen as a blured and moving area. This phenomenon mainly results from the current changes in terms of relationships between men and women, and the raise of the genders questions. Thus, its artistic representation is in need for being experimented. It is about examining how it stays in line with the models of the past while escaping them. Evaluating its historical part of violence and its new fragile one, which both stir and transform it. To this end, I often recycle manhood archetypes (the soldier, the boxing fighter, the mythological hero...) to put them in resonance with the emotions spread by today's medias, adverts and online social networks. In addition to choosing a figurative and expressionist style, I frequently integrate pieces of clothes in my creative process. Not only as an heritage from modern art, but also to provide a deeper and more concrete dimension to the identity matter.
