LIONEL SABATTE
Lionel Sabatte is a young and gifted artist who is comfortable in diverse media from drawing and video. The very fast creative chain and sequence of movements creates a spontaneous and fluid mobility. His short and wonderful cartoons bubble with this energy. This unbridled expression from this fertile imagination is elaborated on diverse structures such as elements of our everyday life including newspapers, toilet paper, napkins and cotton balls reinvents the codified world in which this deregulation is acceptable. However, behind the visible simplicity of the gestures and the means hide a more complex universe. What seems funny can quickly become grave and violent while all the while being tinged with romanticism.
