Like the film Le Mouton noir, this dimension is counterbalanced by a burlesque element. The piece of fabric on the rat’s paw or ‘graft’ becomes a patchwork made out of colorful geometric shapes recalling a Harlequin costume, thus referring directly to the burlesque tradition. This leitmotiv creates a contrast with the dull colors, the humility of the countryside, and makes the figurative scene look unreal to reveal its superficiality. The stiff character seems to be in a procession, while the introduction of the burlesque element transforms it into a carnival. The achievement of the picture occurs in two parts: first the painting of a figurative scene by the artist, and then the moment where the scene becomes absurd.
Working primarily in painting and video, Eric Dizambourg merges the burlesque with the rustic, blurring the boundaries between reality and representation. The fantastical and baroque universe created by Dizambourg offers a glimpse into his personal history, as well as the history of painting. His paintings incorporate the dripping technique of Pollock; the thick gesture of Leroy; the expressionist gesture of Soutine; and the violence of Goya’s black paintings, vaguely tempered by Raysse’s predilection for pop colors. Something of an iconoclast, Dizambourgs work depict art motifs in a comical way – painting becomes autonomous and plays on the freedom of gesture of this libertine artist.
