Oil painting
Bellifontain
A face in the growth rings of a sawn trunk; behind it, the château bends like its own horseshoe staircase.
A Bellifontain is a native of Fontainebleau. The portrait is held in the wood of the forest itself, ring by ring. In the foreground lies the cracked sandstone that walkers and climbers there call “elephant skin”. The château curves round a fountain. A town summed up in three materials: stone, timber, water.

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.
