In archaïc greek, "Lykos" means both Wolf and Light This painting is about the cycle of life, the wolf's (last?) breath becoming a bright nebula in the sky,while its body will nourrish the wild flowers. The position of the body is directly inspired by a Gustave Doré's illustration of one of the Fables from the XVII th century French author Jean de La Fontaine (The Horse and the Wolf) I work with hot liquid synthetic wax and white beeswax, oil paint from the tubes or pure pigments, sometimes acrylic for the first layer and a sheet of light fiberglass to reinforce the wax layers. I use an heat gun or an iron to make the wax layers (and thus the colors) merge. This old encaustic technique allows me to enjoy the flexibility of wax and the intensity it gives to oil colours. Keep the work away from direct heat source (e.g intense sun, heating device under the canvas...) Signed & dated on the back

I currently live and work in Toulouse, SW France, the region where I was born in 1963.. Trained as a scientist I practised for some time as a part-time veterinary surgeon. As a self-taught artist (thanks to all those who helped and guided me), my first works were marble and bronze sculptures of wild animals - my ambition at the time was to produce objects of beauty. Then my scientific background and a better knowledge of art history drove me to explore the living and artistic worlds more deeply, together with the need to “use” animals to represent various facets of human behaviour. Thus appeared animal, anatomical and organic figures for which metamorphosis and hybridization are often central themes. While I like to work with different mediums and materials depending on my creational purpose, wax has come to predominate for me in both sculpture and painting. I also currently work with artist Luc Laumet, one notable example being our recent Drawing correspondence: 260 drawing exchanged beetween 14 December 2016 and 5 December 2017 http://pierrefauret.com/dessins-croises/ ....................................................................................
