The Principle of a Flying Saucer
Original title: Le principe d’une soucoupe volante
A donkey, a cart and a carrot on a stick: there is your engine.
The driver, bald and solid, is seen from behind, dangling the carrot in front of the donkey’s nose, and the donkey walks on. At the roadside a triangular warning sign shows a flying saucer. Perhaps all propulsion, however futuristic, runs on the same principle: something to want, kept just out of reach.

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.
