“While coloring books for adults are something of a trend, there’s another artistic outlet that requires even less effort than colored pencils and markers. It may have more benefits, to boot.
Doodling – the spontaneous act of drawing, typically in the margins of whatever one is ‘really’ supposed to be working on – is more than a humble distraction.

Eric Bourdon
Painter, Sketch artist
Extract from the catalog of Solid’Art 2017, the exhibition-sale of contemporary art organized by Secours populaire.
Exhibition at the Palais Rameau in Lille, France,
from 16 to 18 June 2017.
See the entire exhibition catalog
Eric Bourdon is a man with no story to tell, and a sketch artist without technique.
Every day (like every painting) is a new beginning !
For him, improvisation is the only rule of the game, it is at the heart of artistic activity.
Bringing out colorful emotions and folkloric characters from a few lines drawn “without thinking”, is to cultivate graphic creativity at its most basic level.
Scribbler by profession, Eric Bourdon only tries to shed light on the creative wealth of chance and accident, and to reveal their inexhaustible potential when it comes to creating a myriad of creatures… that we would have never thought of !

“On the road to holidays… and bullfights”
(Spanish-style bullfights = corridas de toros)
Pen and marker on paper, 2017

This drawing was inspired by the contrast between the awareness campaigns against the abandonment of pets on the roads to holidays, carried out by the animal welfare associations, and the festive torture of other animals, supported by the law and mostly funded by public money.
Empathy is the ability to understand and share the feelings of another. While empathy is stimulated on one side, it is reduced to nothingness on the other. Even more, one encourages not only to stay passive, but also to take a positive pleasure in the spectacle of another’s suffering.
