💛 THE EXPERT'S WORD

Each of the artist's creations is deeply linked to the text written. It will appear in his daily life in the form of a book, film, music, quote and will then generate a multitude of images in the his mind that will serve as a catalyst for creating the drawing.

This one in particular is about "Melody Nelson", a concept album released in 1971 by the renowned French singer-songwriter Serge Gainsbourg. Widely hailed as a masterpiece of French pop music, it is often regarded as one of Gainsbourg's most significant works.

The album opens with a fateful encounter as Gainsbourg, driving his Rolls Royce, accidentally collides with Melody Nelson (character inspired by Gainsbourg's muse & romantic partner at the time Jane Birkin), setting the stage for their tumultuous love affair.

The image of Melody Nelson in the drawing is inspired by the album cover from "Histoire de Melody Nelson." This album, which the artist has kept on his desk for many years, inspired him to pay it a tribute with his own creative interpretation.
