Titans is a drawing about perception. Species that have been extinct for millions of years fascinate us. Certainly because they remind us that even the titans who walked our planet have become dust. Yet while our eyes are riveted on these giants, life is slowly disappearing at our feet. These life forms, however small, teach us that sometimes the most crucial things are made up of almost imperceptible details. For the artist, Titans is on the one hand an expression of tree-like thinking, the accumulation of information and the links woven leading to considerable reasoning, the excess of which sometimes leads to a feeling of anxiety and saturation of ideas, the smallest point of detail supporting an analysis of great magnitude that is hardly perceptible to others. This drawing is on the other hand an expression of strength and fragility, of appearance and content, and questions what is more important: the general form or the details that compose it? Titans is one of the nine drawings that make up the series 6VILISATION, a series whose common thread is the sixth mass extinction (Holocene) on which the artist bases his reflections on existence, whether it be his own or that of our species. The animals represented here belong to the groups of insects, arachnids, gastropods, myriapods...
The drawing is made with a black technical felt pen on a white 160g/m² paper, which darkens a little with time and light, thus reminding us of its vegetal origin.
