Contemporary artist Gilles Barbier's sculptural
installation titled "L'ivrogne", translated as "The Drunk", depicts a sullen man, down on his luck. Replicated after the artist himself, the figures has a spiraling whirlwind of thoughts physically emerging from his head. The metaphorical visual made of wax and mixed media displays a circus of objects ranging from dreamy stars and clouds to violent bombs and dynamite.
There's a cartoonish appeal to his winding imagination that can't be contained!
