Eric Dizambourg


Eric Dizambourg’s film presents a bucolic and ludicrous world used as a background for a character who is an actor as well as a performer. This character comes and goes throughout the countryside, the barn and an urban setting, a world of odds and ends where objects often seem to be used for other purposes than their original ones.


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.
