Statement

By Ludovic Paquelier, 2013

The artistic approach that I have developed for years consists of telling stories using images drawn from an available stock (magazines, advertisements, cinema, etc.). These chosen items can be the driving force for drawings or paintings (in black acrylic on canvas or on a wall) and, sometimes for  volume work. I build universes close to science-fiction, threatened by various dangers and peopled with ghost towns. The forms, scenes or landscapes represented generally combine, displaying a fragmented appearance and a proliferation dimension. The figures are set in an enigmatic and cinematographic atmosphere. Made mainly in situ, my paintings adapt to the place in which they are made.
