Black Heart

Tart colours, rich and spontaneous forms...
Our gaze is attracted by the innocence and candour of the form. Thought is captured by people and materialistic symbolic representations interpreted in deference to codes, notably those of composition and proportion, genre scenes that are classical, mystical and/or sacred.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The idea is to suggest, through people and symbolic representations, questions especially appertaining to the relative nature of knowledge, power, worldly goods, pleasures, beauty, and, in a wider sense, to stimulate reflexion by a symbolic reference to oneself and to one’s own condition.


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Main meanings of symbolic representations:
Money, weapons, crowns and sceptres: the vanity of wealth and power.
Wine, pipes, musical instruments and games: the vanity of pleasures.
Skeletons, watches and hourglasses, flowers: the transitory nature of life.
Rabbit magic wand: seizure of power, sovereignty.
Asiatic calligraphy: feeling a stranger in one’s own country, geographical relativity.
Carnivorous rabbit: reality behind appearances, human experiments on nature, curiosity.
