Description:
|
Part of exhibition titled "En chemin" ('On the way') in June-November of 2015, which included 80 paintings, sculptures and drawings with new works, specially created in 2015 for the exhibition. Born in 1946 in Paris, Gérard Garouste lives and works in Paris and Normandy. As both painter and sculptor, he is obsessed by the origins of our culture, myths and the legacy left us by the old masters. His paintings are born of associations of ideas. Now unsettling, now joyful, they teem with animals, some of them fantastical, and a cast of different characters, including "the Indian". The bird's nest also frequently appears on the heads of his characters. (Source: Fondation Maeght [website]; https://www.fondation-maeght.com/en/)
