     With the acrylic paint “Vercingetorix”, the painter Eric Bourdon signs his very first painting on a skateboard !

     This hand painted skateboard clearly gives visibility and presence to the absent par excellence, Vercingetorix. Vercingetorix, the king of the Arverni, but the absent from the painting, appears on the skateboard surface all the more gloriously because he has no human features, all the more manifest because he remains missing.

     With the acrylic painting on canvas titled “Saint George crushing the dragon,” Eric Bourdon follows the straight line of a long pictorial, artistic and literary tradition !

     In the legend, the dragon extorted tribute from villagers. When they ran out of livestock for the dragon, they started giving up human tributes, chosen by lottery. When one day, the lot fell on the king’s daughter ! The king offered all his gold and silver to have his daughter spared, but the people refused. The princess was sent out to the lake, dressed as a bride, to be fed to the dragon. The saint thereupon rescued the princess and killed the dragon.
