ERIC BOURDON - CHEERFUL DELIRIUM
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 child souls.
What he can't express by means of pictorial art, the young artist translates it by the language of the words – he is the author of a novel and several essays of a philosophical nature –, or exteriorizes it through his own body, put into scene during performances very close to the body-painting; a discipline at the border between the figurative and the symbolic system, vast space of creativity favourable to his research conducted from reality. “ It is the greatest freedom of expression I can obtain with the body, ” he emphasizes.
