Ledœufre - Singularly marine art

Description

With human beings as my main focus, the symbols and metaphors of the marine world give me a great deal of freedom to propose a personal universe in which, like an alchemist, I sprinkle a little mystery, ambiguity and poetry into my retort. Playing a balancing act between darkness, hope, humor and gravity, I want to invite the viewer to lose himself in the reflection of a distorting mirror in which rather imposing characters evolve, with faces marked by History and whose powerful hands grasp an allusive animal or material attribute.

This universe is expressed in paintings on canvas, but also in assemblages of pieces of wreckage and other materials, giving rise to altars and ex-votos where the boundary between the sacred and the profane becomes blurred.
