Faced with the challenges of this century, respect for nature and its constituent elements is making a comeback as a necessity. The revolution soon to begin will have to draw its resourcing from the origin of human life. If contemporary art has accompanied the changes in our post-industrial civilization, the return to a life more concerned with the environment and the place of man will require returning to the sources of philosophy and social life, in phase with a nature reconsidered as fundamental in our exchanges and our balances. Because the morning mist which inspired the great Chinese painters has given way to the mists of our industrial activity. And by playing with his environment, man has created deep imbalances, in the name of immediate profitability. A return to sources and universal values is therefore being considered. A transition to a reasoned society will not happen without awareness, and without communication. A new writing will have to develop and spread. Bringing back fundamental principles, while giving free rein to the imagination and the ability to create, such is the ambition of this project.
