About The Artwork
If to be an artist is to give "form" to what has not got one so far through painting or whatever medium, i stripped this object a biker helmet of all its subsidiary accessories to keep the main core, a shell like "form". It does reveal the kind of beauty that any object related to mankind has, and yet it is an industrial product at the beginning...It does not look so anymore in this dry to the bone observation drawing. I am aware that the object chosen here is loaded with meaning "symbolism", but drawing answers that with magic given with so little means such a transfiguration of what is being looked at. The charcoal is fixed on the paper (180gr) from the back of the drawing through capillarity with a very fluid kind of varnish based on safflower oil for artists.

"Dyslexie, dysorthographie, dyscalculie..." was what i used to hear when i was a child, which drove me to a "Libre école Rudolf Steiner" where i had a very good time learning and dealing with drawing, painting, wood working, knitting...in a very genuine way. It was never called :"ART", but who cares ? The topic back then had more to do with the Cosmos, vitality, energetic fields, rythm, grows, states of minds, of evolution, self-control, harmony and balance, elements that i kept in mind as i became an artist. Later, i got a BA and a MA of art from the royal College of Arts and design London (1989) but getting "on the ball" is another story. My first commitment was with sculpture in free open spaces. I moved then to abstract painting bringing this habit of "making things" in the process of painting. Recently i got acquainted to figurative painting for its political aspect, the need to respond in a more concrete way to our troubled times.
