".... His frames contain real objects
that are saved from the garbage can ... they get a second life ..."
"...My imagination pushes me further to give different
vocations to objects, different uses and also other
functions......."
I was born in 1963 in
Saint-Barthélemy. My childhood was determined by a tropical
nonchalance which suited me perfectly. Accuracy and rules
set by school did not do much to me, so I didn’t grant any
passion to my studies. However, as it became necessary to
put some activities into my life, it was my curiosity that
finally made me leave my island ........
|
From 1988 to 1995, seasonal jobs enabled me to travel more or
less anywhere. I started to discover photography, in particular in
Madagascar where fixing strong and moving pictures became an essential part
of my work.
From 1995 to 1998, a boat and a sail showed me the world
through a different perspective, making me aware of many other harbours and
other cultures.
In 1998, when I returned to my island, I wanted to give a
different dimension to the pictures I had stored with a thousand of
heteroclite objects, travel souvenirs or walks.
|
My first exposure, in 1998, gathered objets that were
intented for forgetfulness or the garbage can. They essentially started to
live a second life and created the frameworks for my pictures.
In 1999, the pictures disappeared. The assemblages of the
objects itself became a seperated style of work, in which a lot of contrast
and a humorous touch presented my point of view. My imagination pushed me
further to give different vocations to objects, different uses and other
functions.
The same year, I was selected to participate in the
’Exposition de la Ville de Paris’, where I obtained the sixth price.

In 2000 and 2001, the woman becomes subject of my
predilection. She enters my compositions in which the topicality,
represented by the symbolic of the objects, is always present.
My work, my sculpture and my paintwork, is represented in
France, the USA and The Netherlands, even if some tables remain in deprived
collections in Saint-Barthélemy.
2002, new stage, Holland .....
