Michel Degand, a protean artist (painter, sculptor, illustrator, etc.), has, in more than 50 years of creation, designed around one hundred tapestry cartoons, in a constantly renewed inspiration, sometimes dreamlike or "cosmic" (in the style of Wogensky), other times "technological" (in the style of Millecamps), often lyrical, with a marked interest in the material, and most of them woven at Pinton, in Felletin.

 

In this respect, our cardboard is a synthesis of these different modes of expression; we can add to it work on geometry, material and its chromatic effects, hollows and reliefs, emptiness in relation to the scale of the format….
