Catalogue Note
signed; acrylic on canvas mounted on canvas. Executed in 1996.
" Pour moi une toile peut-être influencée par des publicistes naïfs Africains, par l'illustration de livres d'école primaire, mélangée à Picasso ou à Miro ou alors, un dessin genre BD plus des fausses écritures arabes, plus une peinture brute, très Dubuffet ou Cobra. La figuration libre est une peinture qui ne renie pas ses instincts primitifs et une volonté de culture" (Combas in Robert Combas, Milan 2009, p. 19).
