Menu principale:
The series "Courgette" or "The Marrow"
The paintings are inspired by the cover of the book by Gilles Paris "autobiographie d'une Courgette" which tells the story of a child who had been orphaned, he was taken in a college where between the dramatic and ridiculous he spent some years of childhood between various adventures. the story ends with an happy ending: Courgette is adopted with another girl by a police officer with a generous heart.
So in my mind so many of my friends have become "Courgettes" in the various paintings "naive" I adapted the character to their life.
The first part of the series "The Courgette"
Is dedicated to Frederick, the son of my friends Renato and Donatella
Then "Courgette" I am Courgette, I am living a nightmare: houses and trees have become geometric solids, strange balls fall from the sky, formulas and mathematical diagrams haunt me, but there is also a radio.
It 's my life!
