WELCOME
These are the traces and the imprint
what do forgotten bodies leave behind?
at the moment of crossing the threshold
which make them a reflection
then sowing, then flowering.

Around the landscape
The landscape, its metamorphoses, its fragility and power, its colorful daytime diversity, exerts a constantly renewed fascination. The fear of its fury, its natural dissolution, and the modifications wrought by humankind fuel my reflections. This theme remains constant in my work and forms the basis of several of these series.
An approach to the body
The body, reconstructed from the imprint of a torso from behind, is imprinted by ink onto old scraps of torn fabric. Then, as it dissolves, this body inscribes the shadow of what it once was, the ephemeral trace of its passage and its annihilation, and, hesitating on the threshold to be crossed, leaves the viewer to decide its fate.
Signs and letters
Signs and letters, punctuation and writing, alphabets—everything that seems to allow for a semblance of communication and written transmission—intrigues me. I use all these codes and blur them, making them construct a kind of landscape and anthropomorphic figures. The problem of writing intersects with that of the body and that of landscape.

BARRICADE
"The pieces of zinc that make up the barricades all come from my roof. When I moved into my workshop more than twenty years ago they were dismantled and stored in the storeroom.
For the "Crossing" exhibition in China, I chose them for an installation on punctuation marks.

MEMORY LINES
Two exhibitions, in Beijing and then in Guangzhou, included around thirty paintings from the Schmates series and a monumental 25m installation, specially created for the Croisements Festival.
Punctuation marks, and more specifically the question mark and the parenthesis, were the guiding motifs.
