SABLIERE_DUNKERQUE_2020 Painting

In Dunkerque, France, stands one of the largest seashore industrial zone of Europe. One can find there plenty of huge factory in steel and chemicals businesses, nucelar energy, numerous import /export companies, boat building, and so on ... And that is precisely one of my fields of artistic work. i Like the idea of giving a poetical look upon those kind of places. Wich does not mean exactly changing the purpose of these places ... i think of it more like "another way to see places made for being practical in production by giving them an emotional charge". In this case, i was drifting along an endless street of these industrial surrounding. A came across a sandpit. That was a zone where nature and industry were "invading" each other. Sand flies and goes everywhere, in every little crack. And in machines too, leading sometimes to mechanical breaks. Those machines reply by extracting sand and digging shores. Then the sea replies by corroding shore ... Well, you know how it goes ... So, there this sandpit wich, i find, could look like some sort of small desert. there no one execpt sand, grass, bushes and wildflowers. But, as a frontier, the owner of the pit set a billboard there, marking its territory. The fact that the name written on the billboard was phoenix made it very relevant. You may know that a phoenix is a mystical bird constantly burning itself to death and then living an immediate rebirth.
