Vanity
huile sur toile, 195 x 114 cm. Prix4000€ + envoi
The Vanity as a pictorial genre appeared in the early 17th century, particularly in Protestant countries. The meditating individual, the “symbolic” objects of knowledge and study, the hourglass, and the enigmatic contrast of the skull feed the mise-en-scène of the presence of death in consciousness. Except for the skull, everything is in the computer today. We give it everything, and we remain as naked as fools in the night. In the background, you can see my village, the ruins of the convent that has just been listed as a historical monument. Fortunately, as an antidote, there are negligently abandoned on the floor, a bustier and panties of Princess Tam Tam that embroider on this situation.
