Making pages in the book of dreams<\/strong><\/p>\nFrench-born Edouard Baribeaud\u2019s pen-to-paper worlds are testament to a process that while ancient, still holds relevance. Working mainly from his imagination, his meticulous aesthetic draws together painting, collage, engraving and graphic elements. His close attention to technique, composition, overlap and layers is owed to his study of printmaking and illustration.<\/p>\n
Located in the complex previously occupied by Haunch of Venison near Berlin\u2019s Hauptbahnhof, the walls of his vast studio are covered in neatly laid-out gouache on paper drawings, and one whole wall is given over to windows and desks. As well as having a clear and concise appreciation of how to accumulate his drawings into series, he also makes artist books. \u201cWith drawings you can always choose a new ways to present the images in a gallery, but in a book you have to choose one way. I like to work in both, sometimes more freely: it\u2019s like finding a rhythm. Working in an artist\u2019s book is like cutting a film.\u201d<\/p>\n
Some of the works tacked up for display are part of his recent series, \u201cHic Sunt Leones\u201d, a title that draws on the Latin \u201cHere Be Dragons\u201d which is used to refer to unexplored territories. It references the cartographic practice of placing mythological creatures in uncharted areas. This interest in \u201cterra incognita\u201d led him to consider where the uncharted territories lie in a time of Google maps and satellite imagery. \u201cMaybe the unknown places are only in your head?\u201d he wonders.<\/p>\n
Baribeaud addresses reality in colour. In his new large-scale work \u201cFr\u00fchling\u201d he responds to the revolution in the Middle East and the proliferation of mobile phone footage, most recently exemplified by the death of Colonel Gaddafi. Baribeaud considered, \u201crebellion is very old, it is just the technique that changes. I wanted to confront the old imagery with imagery from today and confront the occidental world with the oriental world\u2026 it\u2019s very influenced by music also, a bit like a cacophony.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cFr\u00fchling\u201d does have that effect, a flattened collage of varying styles influenced by news and pop culture including a reference to the Beatles\u2019 \u201cI Am The Walrus\u201d. \u201cI think it\u2019s interesting that when you\u2019re reading the news on Syria next to advertising on Louis Vuitton or Nike, in the end all this information is flattening. At the beginning people thought that the earth was flat, then the earth was round, then came Google Maps and it\u2019s flat again.\u201d<\/p>\n
Historically, the religious triptych held a central colour panel opened for big occasions; Baribeaud applies the same logic. His pop-up window-style, multi-image central panel is contrasted with the sober black and white reserved for the outer triptych panels. Here he employs images of a monochrome, mountainous utopia where one image in particular is taken from the Paramount movie logo. \u201cHollywood was selling dreams, utopias,\u201d he notes.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Perhaps surprisingly for an artist that draws so strongly on his imagination, Baribeaud rarely dreams, So when he does, it is important for him. As is the flight into the real world. \u201cI work a lot in the studio, but it\u2019s sometimes very important to go out and confront the work with reality, and video is a good way to do that. You have to choose the order of images, and there is a time and sound element.\u201d<\/p>\n
Unseen visions come to him from pop culture, news, dreams and, most importantly, find a way to solidify and become concrete through the linear renderings direct from his mind\u2019s eye.\u00a0<\/p>\n
