The Crossing of Disaster

The Crossing of Disaster (La traversée du disaster) presents the work of French visual artist François Andes, created for the homonymous exhibition and performance, held at the Bienal de Mons (2018). A Travessia do Disaster (La traversée du disaster) presents the work of French visual artist François Andes, created for the homonymous exhibition and performance, held at the Bienal de Mons (2018). François Andes presents us with a vast and fascinating imaginary bestiary, populated with dreams, struggles, and ancestral symbols from different mythologies. The unveiled protagonists are archaic and timeless, and ultimately show us that what tends to become perennial dangerously approaches fatality. Through the drawing, the artist seeks an answer to the problem of psychological representation from its foundation - a literal denuding until the essential is touched. A deep look at human relationships: love in hate, freedom in love, joy in freedom.
