The work Drôle de société, part of the Tourne en rond project, is a painting that questions the absurd cycles and dead ends of a collective system that no longer functions. It highlights a world saturated with contradictions, where human beings oppress both nature and their fellow humans, trapped in a system they keep turning—sometimes without even realizing it.
In this visual universe, both clear-sighted and unsettling, the composition plays with circular shapes and piled-up masses, symbols of repetition, stagnation, and confinement. The living and the human intersect here in a palpable imbalance, revealing a constant tension between domination, fragility, and the need for balance.
Yet, at the heart of this chaos, paper and pigments offer a breath, a trace of delicacy. These simple yet sensitive materials reveal a vulnerable humanity, still capable of emotion, beauty, and doubt. The artistic gesture, in its very materiality, becomes an act of poetic resistance against the brutality of the world portrayed.
Drôle de société does not merely condemn; it invites us to see differently, to break the cycle, and to imagine a new relationship with the living and with others.
