Artwork location: France

This captivating work features an individual emerging from the shadows, carrying a collection of rolled-up maps. The contrast between the dark background and the vibrancy of the maps highlights a duality between mystery and discovery. The realistic details of the hands and arms, with tensed muscles, convey an impression of strength and determination. The colorful maps, carefully rolled up, seem to represent not only geographical territories but also personal journeys and inner explorations. The absence of a face adds a dimension of universal anonymity, allowing the viewer to project themselves into this quest for knowledge and adventure. The composition is balanced, guiding the eye towards the textures and nuances of the maps, a symbol of a world rich in stories to decipher. This painting intrigues with its play of light and its narrative depth, inviting reflection on travel and discovery.

Xavier Jallais, J'ai rêvé d'horizon plus vaste
France  • 1971

Presentation

Born in 1971, Xavier Jallais is a French painter. He lives and works in Chauvigny.

Xavier Jallais studied conservation and restoration of cultural properties in Paris and began a career as a conservator-restorer of canvas paintings. For his own work, the artist draws inspiration by his contact with ancient works which are ruined, damaged or have holes.

The representation of the body is the main theme of his work, and the artist doesn't hesitate to take himself as the model. In his creations, the human being is only partially visible, or is hidden by an object or cut. Even when it's fragmented, the body remains the main theme of his composition.

Through the representation of image, Xavier Jallais addresses human thoughts of an entire society, these include: fears, hopes, joys and sorrows. The body becomes a communication tool, which is renewed and evolved by the artist.
