     Eric Bourdon’s acrylic painting on canvas titled “Bucolic getaway of hens with hollow teeth” is part of a transcendental questioning extended to the whole of culture : to language, myth and art. It is a question here of reexamining the very being of the world, and not only of determining the conditions of its discovery. The critique of reason is therefore replaced by a critique of culture as a whole.

     The symbolic form synthesizing the diversity of consciousness in a single aim transmits to “Bucolic getaway of hens with hollow teeth on a picturesque sunny hill with a view in the background of the Lake Serre-Ponçon with its ineffable silver reflections when clouds contemplate themselves in it” a content of spiritual meaning oriented towards an end which is, for the spirit, to no longer be satisfied with being and living in its own productions and in the midst of the symbols it has created but to grasp the concept of what it is in itself.
