Rêve de la barbarie ordinaire / mixed
media on canvas, 170 x 200 cm
Rêve de la barbarie ordinaire (Dream of Ordinary Barbarism) aims to
represent a horror that is both timeless and engraved in our most recent history.
A strange priestess, a death-figure whose made-up face is splashed with sedimentary
layers of copper leaf, performs male sacrifice, as though the bodies were
already mummified (and not only males, as suggested by the mass grave at the
base of the painting). A certain (paranoid ?) humor strives to redeem the
violent and sexual weight of this painting, leaning more towards despair.
