Marcoleptique

A dissipated pupil, lost in the school system, he developed a passion for teaching and discovered a window, a way out. He feeds avidly on works of art and history, and embarks on a path inspired by surrealist works. At the same time, he began studying computer graphics, specialising in typography and signage, where he acquired technical skills and a mastery of drawing. It didn’t take long for his talent and sensitivity to express themselves: watercolour, sculpture and painting are all media that enable this artist to create hard-hitting works with strong satirical messages that expose the inconsistencies of our society. A healthy dose of cynicism, sarcastic staging and vivid colours give his paintings a fantastical dimension. Marcoleptique stands out for his incisive perception of the outside world, which his paintings serve up effectively. After living and exhibiting in Paris, in such atypical venues as La Folie en Tête and Le Merle Moqueur, it was in south-east France that Marcoleptique first presented his iconic animal series to the public at the ‘David tattoo’ tattoo parlour in Manosque, before being spotted by one of the organisers of Sm’art (the contemporary art festival in Aix-en- provence), where he exhibited in 2017.
Now, with ‘Histoires de taches’, he invites you to explore his world, allowing you to project your own imagination into it. Old books and forgotten sheet music come back to life and become intimate objects, strangely recognisable, vehicles for feelings that are sometimes buried. The ‘Histoires géographiques’ series, an extension of the previous one, invites us to explore this new geography, leaving behind the known world to embrace a universe where the continents move with a powerful humanity.
