About The Artwork
The complete title of this work is: "The escape of Peter Pan _with the participation of the Tinkerbell who sulks and some individuals adept of sado-masochistic games (well, we suppose it...). On the pavement, the blade N°23 representing a stuffed punk in chains, was thrown, there, by Charlotte Tiramisu, transvestite at the cabaret "Shadow". All the action takes place on paper torn and glued to a canvas." This is a multicolored fantasy. A fantasy? Not so sure! Patrick Gourgouillat uses the hero created by J.M. Barrie to evoke here, what is called in psychology "the Peter Pan syndrome". Once again, the artist transforms and stages a possibility: transgression. The choice of characters are far from being insignificant. We speak of masks (clowns) of transformism (the transvestite) and adult games (references to sado-masochism). Disguising oneself, playing roles: are these necessary steps to "become an adult"? In any case, Peter Pan prefers to run away...

"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.
