Oil painting
The Chameleon
Original title: Le caméléon
A face split down the middle and hung on a coat hanger like a garment.
One half is pale with black hair, the other dark with blond, and the two sides agree neither in skin nor in gaze; a red ring circles the left eye like a monocle. The bust rests on a plinth of cracked earth. Identity, on this showing, is something you put on, change, and put away again.

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.
