During September, I’ve been invited to the CHILDREN ART MUSEUM, in New York, USA.
I had the chance to see my Art exhibited beside great artists that i consider as my father such as Hundert Vasser, or Keith Haring.
WORDS OF (HE)ART. Acrylic on wall. 400x600cm. NY, CMA museum. 2011
I went their in order to paint a mural inside the new local of the museum, down Manhattan. I decided to make something that would spread a good message to the kids. A bit of an utopy I’ve always tried to protect against the teeth of cynism. I wanted to believe it is still possible to be naiv. And allow one to be hopefull.
WORDS OF (HE)ART. pen and gouache on paper. Sketch
I searched first about a drawing, a visual, made of symbols, but found out my expression will be clearer if i use words. And that was a great excuse for me to play with letters curves and rimes.

During the opening, more than 1000 people came, and most of them were children. They had the opportunitys to take part in workshop in order to create some Art that truely amazed me. Here are a few samples of what they did.

The aim of the exhibition was to present some Art that would inspire children to create. All artists presented worked once in public space. That was the link between all of us.
Here are a few pictures of what the kids could see while discovering the museum
