Dominique Théate

In his eighteens, while he got ready to start studying fine arts, a coma after a serious motorcycle accident changed the promising life of this young artist. The impossibility of recovery condemned Dominique Théte to fantasize about his life. This is why almost all his drawings are followed by a "Shema representing me(sic) …" where he stages different aspects of his fantasy life, whereas in the afternoon suit he would wear during his marriage, in a comedian loved by his audience, in a star singer, or in the reproduction of the numerous cars he dreams of.

As Anne-Françoise Rouche implied: "Because he was stolen from his construction of common person, he is going to draw and to write that of a perfect golden boy". Dominique Théate is engaged in his drawings with a form of incantation which would only be terribly moving if it was not endowed with this rare faculty that certain works have to stretch out to us the mirror of our own hopes. His drawings are the object of numerous exhibitions for a few years from now.
