On one of my latest collages, with the irruption of a screaming boy and impressions of contemporary Chinese art

This collage started with the head of the woman with a body in the way of the German expressionist sculptor Barlach. I left it like that for one day, then I started to transform it, first in the details of hair, then by acting on the body, giving it a real physical presence. And suddenly, the boy added himself to the image. Originally, he was laughing in the ad, but as we well know, it is the context that gives meaning. Here, then, he cries. Why? I wonder. My own mother kept a great distance vis-à-vis her children, I can only imagine such physical proximity or even the experience of true anger towards her. This image is fantasy. After placing the child, I tried to create a 3-D effect with the body and face of the mother at risk of breaking the image. This is an interesting avenue to pursue, I think.
The trip to Singapore showed me how Chinese artists were uninhibited compared to the chapels of contemporary art. In Geneva, there is indeed a museum of contemporary art, but it is austere, intellectual, and cold. And humor, when there, freezes, ices . Among the Chinese, we find tragic pictures, but without same claim as ours. I found it delightful. Even when they return to stereotypes such as Warhol and his Campbell soup, there is no incentive to make this link, saying "another the sub-Warhol ...! " But rather to rejoice in the diversion of the ancestor to the Chinese context.

To return to my collage, I mean I want to go on without worrying about rules, but playing with my scraps of paper.
Ce collage était parti de la tête de la femme, avec un corps un peu à la manière de Barlach. Je l’ai laissé comme cela pendant un jour, puis je me suis mis à le transformer, d’abord en intervenant dans le détail des cheveux, puis en intervenant sur le corps, le dotant d’un physique véritable. Et tout d’un coup, le petit garçon est venu s’ajouter à l’image. A l’origine, dans la pub il rigolait, mais comme on le sait bien, c’est le contexte qui donne le sens. Ici donc, il crie. Pourquoi ? Je me le demande. Ma propre mère ayant été d’une grande distance vis-à-vis de ses enfants, je ne puis que m’imaginer une telle proximité physique ni même d’avoir éprouvé de la vraie colère envers elle. Cette image est donc fantasmatique. Après avoir placé l’enfant, j’ai essayé de créer un effet 3-D avec le corps et le visage de la mère, au risque de briser l’image. C’est une piste intéressante à poursuivre, je crois.
Le voyage à Singapour m’a montré combien les artistes chinois étaient décomplexés par rapport aux chapelles de l’art contemporain. A Genève, il y a bien un musée d’art contemporain, mais il est austère, intellectuel, froid. Et l’humour, quand il y en a, s’y fige, s’y glace. Chez les Chinois, on rencontre du tragique, mais sans la même prétention que chez nous. J’ai trouvé cela réjouissant. Même quand ils reprennent des stéréotypes comme Warhol et sa Campbell soup, cela n’incite pas à faire ce lien, en se disant « encore du sous-Warhol… ! » mais plutôt à se réjouir du détournement de l’ancêtre vers le contexte chinois.
Pour revenir à mon collage, je veux dire que j’ai envie de poursuivre sans me préoccuper de canons ou de règles, mais de jouer avec mes bouts de papier.
