The Gold Card
Original title: La carte d’or
A gold credit card the size of a painting, with the small of a back where the scenery should be.
It is all there: the chip, sixteen embossed digits, the expiry date, the dove hologram, a red barcode down the edge. But the card’s background is a nude seen from behind, and the cardholder’s name ends in “de Sexy”. Desire and credit, on one and the same piece of plastic.

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.
