ABOUT
" His universe is merry and fanciful, the stroke, spontaneous, has a great time on the canvas, virtuoso of the line, curves and arabesques, until the bright and luminous colours burst onto the scene and repossess it. Eric Bourdon bends kind monsters into shape who glide gracefully among a faun of individuals whose silhouettes are of the most amazing, plump or lanky, always infinitly sympathetic and delighted to come to stimulate our dormant souls of child. "
Samantha Deman / 2009 - Arts Hebdo Medias
CONCEPT
" Eric's work is more drawing than painting. It is a game with lines, first drawn in a spontaneous manner, random - much like a child doodling - then worked and reworked again and again until something new, a precise figure, character, emerges from this chaos. Always newness created from the nothingness. No character ever appears twice. " Bicha Gallery, London / 2011
