Franc Thibault - Lot 19

Franc Thibault Through his paintings, sculptures, videos, Thibault Franc seeks to ensauve culture, to make it both funnier and more disturbing. A true Indian in the city, he brings with him this strange part, these masks, this colourful closeness to plants, animals, barbarians, where the overflow of knowledge becomes intuition, and where the objects of civilization can mingle to acquire new properties. No need, therefore, to leave the comfortable life we are tired of, because the city becomes again the ground of unpredictable vitality. Faced with complex, brutal, gentle and simple works, we suddenly feel rejuvenated, revived, shaken by the sap and the rising wind. The time to glimpse it, let us preciously preserve the feeling of this ferocious beauty, we will need it to prepare a better world, a world that still escapes us.
