Far Away Eyes

Siegfried Jegard

September 6th - September 27th 2008

Siegfried Jegard draws the same way he breathes. His drawings run through the pages as a deaf contamination.
All the way long of an automatic drawing style, characters, hybrid creatures, naive monsters and others images of ourselves combine themselves to their environment and participate to the dream like putting on scene. Each form seems to generate another, infinitely. Lines get tangled, sketch a mythological and intimate world, at the edge of child’s imagination and the adolescence’s disenchantment.Guided by his intuition and his sensibility, the line scatters his organic constructions and creatures in a candid progression.

In his last solo show, « Far away eyes », the artist stands back with his practice of automatic drawing. Operating a selection in protean universe, he distils a more clear framework where his imagination focuses on. He takes control on a viral and free drawing to lead to more frontal and asserted visions.
