Modern ▷ Attelage de rêve by Marabout, 2020 | Pencil Paintings

Xavier Marabout’s work is essentially based on the production of pictorial mashups. In other words, Marabout strips distant artistic universes to merge them together (artistic movement called Strip Art). Thus, by borrowing from the comic strips of his childhood and from the painting of the great masters which fascinates him, he has gradually developed a style where line and parody are omnipresent. In particular in his series: Tex Avery – Picasso where he organizes the meeting of the famous libidinous wolf and the women painted by the Spanish artist… Or, in his series: Hergé – Hopper or Marabout uses the voyeuristic and wait-and-see look of the American painter to imagine a sentimental and tumultuous life in Tintin. In short, through these cultural collisions, Marabout now claims the synthesis of genres.
