    Lot Essay

    «Je suis fasciné par « ses pages de dictionnaire », la beauté de ses dessins et l’étrangeté de ses peintures dont on croit, quand on regarde de près, qu’il s’agit d’une photo. Pourtant tout est dessiné. Son univers est fou, unique et tellement intelligent.»

    «I'm fascinated by his “dictionary pages”, the beauty of his drawings and the strangeness of his paintings, which look like photos when viewed close up, but are actually all pencil drawn. His artistic world is wild, unique and highly intelligent.»
