VITIS VINIFERA MON AMOUR

Indian ink and water based ink on paper - Series for Clos Monicord wine labels 2010 vintage

This series is an observation and reflection on the natural cycle of the vines. The different steps are shown throughout the different seasons of the year and therefore the six representations are visually linked together. The vine and the man live a metamorphosis together as each picture expresses the symbiosis between the vine and the human being. One can compare the relationship between the vine and the man to a passionate love story. The vine is embodied and suggests the presence of a feminine character. Inspite of the rustic and rough features of a vine the drawings reveal strongly its feminine side throughout its development until the final maturity.
