"TRAPPED 2: Chronique d'une mort annoncée" - Birdy Tg - 2014 ("Chronicle of a predicted death") "In the Garden of God and the Devil" Serie Edition print limited to 7 60x40 cm - Kodak Silver Print on laminated aluminium plate and under Diasec TM - Framed in Black Wood Shadow Box 68x48cm Many close-up on the numerous details can been seen on Birdy Tg Website: http://www.mypixeldiary.com/-/galleries/in-the-garden-of-god-and-the-devil/page/2 Carrying on the philosophical parallel he establishes between the Dante Alighieri ‘s « Divine Comedy » and Fashion World, Birdy Tg offers here the next instalment of his famous visual serial: « In the Garden of God and the Devil ». Following the course of his Novel of the same title, which will edited in 2016, Birdy Tg here tells about what could be seen at first as an everynight scene on a Paris café terrace... BUT "Truth is not always welcome to be told or shown... especially when the true story is the greatest secret to keep on earth... A sad winter night in Paris... On a café terrace, only "Salades" are proposed on the menu... "Salades" in French is not only a vegetable or a salad to eat but also means "To tell nasty tales"... And this very special night nasty tells will be told for sure. The trap has been set! This the chronicle of a predicted death..." Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, or even to be born, is purely coincidental and beyond the Author’s will, all the characters being totally fictitious. Birdy Tg uses here a very instinctive drawing style, fast and nervous, as if he was the witness of a very special event happening live just in front of him and as if he wanted to keep in mind what occurs here. He uses the typical spontaneous style of a judicial editor making a sketch during a trial... Critics have stated Birdy Tg’s style as “ lyrical, poetic, oneiric, allegorical and romantic…” (Ref: Hans Herrmann, German Art Critic, 2014), “true visual poetry; original, strong and powerful art, treated as freeze cinematographic frames; oneiric, baroque and surrealist frescoes, in a luministic and metaphorical manner…” (Ref: Nathalie Becker: Luxembourger Art Critic, 2014) or again “can be described as Diegetic and Lyrical Conceptual Art…” (Ref: Eric Vivier, French Art Critic and Visual Art Lecturer, 2015). « IN THE GARDEN OF GOD AND THE DEVIL » “In the Garden of God and the Devil” is the name of my last Concept which I am presently working on and will consecrate 3 full years to it. This is also the title of my new Novel and Musical Suite that will be out in 2016. The whole concept is a philosophical parallel between the “Divine Comedy” by Dante Alighieri and the “Fashion World”. At first glance, the comparison or the confrontation between those two universes, which seem to be so different, could be at least surprising, maybe even chocking, but with a bit more of attention, the real surprise is how they can be similar. “In the Garden of God and the Devil” is, of course, a tribute to the great Master of Italian Literature and the French painter and illustrator Gustave Doré but also to the most famous fashion designers of the 20th and 21st centuries: Yves Saint Laurent, Alexander McQueen, John Galliano, Riccardo Tisci, Jean-Paul Gaultier, etc… whose, for quite a large number of them, life and destiny have often difficult if not tragic. This also a tribute to all the anonymous people sacrificed by this coruscating but fierce world. Taking place over 7 centuries, the action begins like a nervous thriller for a long and difficult quest across an infernal world of illusions, collusions, compromises, corruptions, perversions and sufferings… Voyage with no return down into the deepest darkness of Hell or luminous and oneiric initiatory crusade to the Promised Land and the Eternal Glory? Is Fashion only the symptomatic reflection of a whole society mired into an engaged process of total decadence or, “only”, the dramaturgy of a desperate attempt for reaching the ultimate “Chef d’Oeuvre” (Masterpiece) by the accomplishment of the sacred knowledge into the Icarian tragedy? Birdy Tg ©2015 For more explanations on the artwork or on the author, please look at the profile section of the artist: Photographer, painter, sculptor, writer, music composer, Birdy Tg is a multimedia artist. For him, nothing is definitively compartmentalized in Art. Birdy Tg wants to feel totally free inside of his artistic expression, with no genre limitation, and that’s why he prefers to speak about Visual Art better than Photography as he often gladly mixes painting, drawing and photography all together into his art...
