Description
Solo show Galerie Du Bas - Halle Saint Pierre, Paris, France Original drawings Erdeven Djess is a French-born, self-taught drawing artist. His works pay homage to marginalized circles and their eccentricity. They hijack a variety of social, cultural and traditional images from the past and present, observing how aesthetic stereotypes meet and collide. The artist intuitively draws on art history, the entertainment industry and life memories to produce ambitious, enigmatic and thought provoking narratives that interrogate the polarized world of the 21 st century. Most often executed on large formats, his scenes and figures offer a new quality of baroque, mannerist form, with a keen interest in gender fluid representation. ‘‘My drawings are structured around the figure, human disorders and desires, like so many images and chaos; they have the fierce ambition of presenting themselves ‘beautifully’ to the world - the panoplies and accessories my characters absorb allow this. I don’t want them to be totally ‘men’ or ‘women’, or really ‘children’; they’re hybrid creatures out of a burlesque theater.’’ The artist has been exhibiting his works since 2009, and has been drawing since childhood with graphite, swapping it years later for the ballpoint pen, which has become the exclusive tool of his creation. Erdeven Djess is represented by HEY! modern art & pop culture.
