1916 : le monde est en pleine guerre mondiale; la "der des der" à l'origine.
2008, soit 92 ans après (c'est à dire après une deuxième guerre mondiale et un paquet d'autres diCTateurs et de très nombreux génocides) l'être humain est encore plus dans la merde. Le CAPITALISME l'a complètement asservi en détruisant au passage les ressources de sa planète.
" (...) nous voulons dorénavant chier en couleurs diverses pour orner le jardin zoologique de l'art "
Tristan Tzara, manifeste de monsieur antipyrine, 1916
C'est après des études de lanceurs de couteaux puis comme j'avais raté de danseur de claquettes que je me suis intéressé au monde du spectacle, du cirque et des masques. En allant au SUPERmaRché, en regardant la télévision, en écoutant les hommes politiques et en travaillant tous les jours comme un forcené pour quelques euros je me suis aperçu que le spectacle allait bien au delà de la scène qui me fascinait alors. Il était partout. Everywhere !! Des girafes, des éléphants et des caniches intelligents !! Des dompteurs de zèbres, des acrobates mais surtout des clowns. Un nombre incalculable de ClowNs, partout ! Ouahhhh comme la vie (la vraie) est magique !
6 ans 1/2 d'internements et autant d'années d'expositionS après dans toutes les cliniques de France ET d'ailleurs je continue la PEINTURE. Une peinture qui se veut miLITAnte, désinvolte et sans concession ($$$$).
(éteins ton portable et assieds toi; ouvre les yeux bien grands, le spectacle est déjà commencé!)

ENGLISH
1916: the world is in the middle of a world war; the one meant “to end all wars”.
2008, or 92 years later (i.e. after a second world war and a host of other diCTators and plenty of genocides) human beings are even deeper in the shit. CAPITALISM has completely enslaved them while also destroying the planet’s resources.
" (...) as of now we want to shit in varied colours to deck the zoological gardens of art "
Tristan Tzara, manifesto of mr antipyrine, 1916
After studying knife-throwing and as a failed tap-dancer I started to take an interest in the world of show business, circus and masks. By going to the SUPERmaRket, by watching TV, by listening to politicians and slaving away every day for a few euros I realised that the show went much further than the stage that used to fascinate me. It was everywhere. Everywhere!! With intelligent giraffes, elephants and poodles!! Zebra tamers, acrobats but above all clowns. A countless number of ClowNs, everywhere! Wooooow, isn’t (real) life magic!
6 and a 1/2 years of internments as well as of exhibitionS in every clinic in France later AND still I go on PAINTING. Painting that is intentionally miLITAnt, offhand and concession free ($$$$).
(turn off your mobile and sit down; open your eyes wide, the show’s started already!)

"MIMI the clown est un artiste complet, courageux, perseverant... J'admire son oeuvre, entière, réaliste... Ce que beaucoup d'entre nous n'osent exprimer, Mimi The clown persecute, destabilise par sa pertinence, son ironie, son humour pinçant et si vrai... Son travail m'accompli, me fais sourire et prendre conscience des travers de la vie... Je lui souhaite toute la reussite qu'il mérite..
C'est une philosophie à lui seul, un grand nom, beaucoup doivent l'envier.. Et c'est mérité...
Je le félicite pour l'ensemble de son parcours!!!
Je le felicite pour son humilité..
Tu es un exemple pour beaucoup...
Merci..."23rd August, 2007
