About The Artwork
‘Monsieur Icare & les scarabées’ is a reference to the Greek myth of the fall of Daedalus' son. Here, the central figure is embodied in a disquieting clown face wearing a bow tie with wings. The earth is represented in the form of two labyrinths, and the sun in two distinct geometric shapes. Five beetles, a reference to the synchronicity developed by Carl G. Jung, rise to the top of the artwork. The artist has composed a fantasy based on the drawings in his ‘The Third Month’ series. Inspired by Pop-Art (repetition of motifs) and the Polish illustrator Ryszard Kaja, ‘Monsieur Icare & les scarabées’ invites us to reflect on our lives. Technically, it consists of paper printed in black, cut out and glued to canvas. The glued motifs are then enhanced with black ink. Hand-drawn elements in black, gold and orange (oil) are then added to the composition. The whole is covered with a matt varnish.

"Everything is important, everything is beautiful, everything is sad. Where do we start if we choose to tell life and make it a work of art? Michèle Mailhot My work is eclectic, both in its form and in the use of media. In general, I work in "series". I think that one of the ways of making things interesting is through diversity: the styles as well as the techniques are varied. It can be the animal world [The Animals], societal criticism [Human Behaviour], comic strip-like drawing [Mr Doggy], crazy images as if from a dream or nightmare [Short Stories], gentle melancholy [Sky Blue] or, based on my own experience, phantasmagorical worlds in a dazzling frenzy [Viva La Vida]. I am currently working on the latter series. These series are very different from each other. What interests me are the variations in energy that they imply for me. So I go from one thing to another like one goes through experiences. This is often what happens in art in general and in life in particular.
