The Ace of Clubs
Original title: L’as de trèfle
A head of state dealt as a playing card: the ace of clubs, edged in gold.
The half-smiling face rests in a shard of eggshell, balanced between two glass spheres skewered on thin rods. Below, a deck waits to be cut. A gilt “A” and a club sit in each corner. The official portrait turns out to be what it always was: the top card in somebody’s hand.

About the series
Each canvas in this cycle starts from a title — an expression, a brand, a slogan — and treats it as a subject for classical painting. The result is a chronicle of contemporary public life, in which power, money and belief appear as characters.
