Artistic approach
Since 2001, he has developed a world of "art prototypes" which he called "matrix" (in the typographic meaning) and "light box" (as a kind of clone or slave from the matrix). For its "matrix", it creates from a thick plate bent on a steel frame, etched by acid and then interpreted, as a case. In addition, one or more rollers molten glass let appears a photographic image, created exclusively for each work. Moving to or around this piece of art, a mirror can shows a reflected view of suspended metallic prints, composing a word, a sentence, an alliteration.[3]
His Light Boxes or "caissons lumineux" are made in square blocks or long metallic rectangular units in chrome steel or brushed stainless steel. Transparent and illuminated from the inside photographs[4] are enclosed, figuring the typographic reflection of its "matrix".[5]
About his artistic approach, he said: "My creation axis revolve around industrial techniques I turn from their functionality and profitability to put at the service of liberty and free (of charge) - it serves no purpose in appearance - and thus, materialize a philosophical theme". He get involved with other international artists causes, including for the ephemeral movement "greedy bastards" to complain about the excesses of theJerome Kerviel affair, in February 2011.[6]
Introducing himself as a "citizen of the world", he exhibited in 16 countries,[7][8][9] he participated in several collective artists movements,[10]especially around humanist values[11] and criticism.[12][13][14] In 2012, a documentary was dedicated to him, directed by Scotto Production in the "Gueules d'art" ("Faces of Art") series.[15]
