Lionel Sabatté / Phoenix du 20/09/2020

Following the exhibition "Chimères de rouille et de poussière" (Chimeras of rust and dust) at the Maison des Arts de Bages in July 2020, Lionel Sabatté offers us a series of original works, created directly on the printing plates used to make the exhibition catalogue. Intervening directly on these plates, the artist creates two distinct series:

- A series entitled "Renaissance of an egg" made with oil paint, dust and turmeric;

- A series entitled "Phoenix" made with acrylic and oxidation.

These original works are the artist's first interventions on printing plates, mixing the ghosts of his old images with new creations, giving birth to a renewed, fantastic and chimerical bestiary.  Each work is framed. It is signed and dated.
