Exposition Monkey Bird
SETE From September 1, 2022 to October 31, 2022
Presentation
Created in 2012, the Monkey Bird Crew (MBC) collective is made up of two artists, Louis and Edouard, who met on the benches of the School of Visual Art Créasud in Bordeaux: Témor, graphic artist, design enthusiast and Blow , graphic designer, lover of illustrations. The two visual artists stage two animal totems, in metaphysical architectures, between anthropic and ethological principles. “We want to offer a literary reading of the image!”. Stencil makers recognized for their graphic finesse, they work with matrices made entirely by hand. Inspired by treatises on geometry, mechanics, cosmology or even astronomy, they decline their work on multiple mediums and recycled supports.
"Monkey Bird is the whole of an alchemy of our two thoughts, a link between spirit and matter. It's still a taunt like at the beginning, with the technique refined today". This is how Blow is embodied by the discreet night owl, a follower of poetry and artistic philosophies. And Témor, like the monkey, is a resourceful perfectionist combining humor and wit. Not without a certain obsession, they reintroduce an animal presence on city walls. These animals, similar to those present in the fables, mischievously send us back to our human concerns, halfway between the desire for elevation, material desires, and freedom, from which man cannot free himself. Now feeding the urban landscape, they invest their mural fables in Paris, where they live, Lille, Bordeaux in particular, but also Amsterdam, New Delhi and several cities in Mexico.
