Le Dompteur




This is another piece that will be shown at Cella Gallery in North Hollywood, CA, in September 2010.

It is the first one i am making public of a series that i call the -Oldbury series no.1-.

The idea of this series is that i was allowed to used the Oldbury's band members photographs and turned them into art. I should mention that this series is also being part of this new collaborative work with artist Marie-Josee Roy and myself.

This piece named -Le Dompteur- features the band's drummer Jeff Talbot. Based on a photograph of him mimicking Dr.Evil, we have turned it into a pop realist piece almost in hommage to Warhol. I must say that this piece is also one of the most humoristic and twisted of the series.
Yes, Jeff here has a new friend, a pet fly that is calmly (and nervously) being trained by him.
