Un-Night

Ηow could drawing suggest animality, this wild quality that man, despite his efforts, shares with animals? What is the common trait that drawing shares with animality, if not a diverting outside logic and words, that takes us to a night where, even if logos is absent, significance twinkles ambiguously?
The nocturnal landscape, this is the reign of the animals, who wander between the visible and the invisible, like Jean-Christophe Bailly writes. This series of drawings, talks about limitrophic, gloomy situations. The frame of landscape drawing – reflection, for the moderns, of a control towards nature and passions – this time is reversed. We follow the dark and invisible paths of animals, whose absence so full of presence, reminds us of our proper condition, whose borders are often so difficult to discern.
