ABOUT

Claude Lévêque is stunning in each of his artistic practices as he is in writing. Parler à un mouton, swerves in a fragile equilibrium between humour, gravity and nostalgia. The writing is poetic, sometimes coarse, as smooth as it is fluttered.
One spins through the book, in an allegedly childlike world, where drawings mix with words.
The “useless but burlesque” text is infinitely rich, with multiple reading levels and popular references. Claude Lévêque takes us everywhere: from country restaurants to the city of Nevers, from highway deserts to Vichy. But above all, he admires David Bowie. Plunged in his memories and phantasms, only the more experienced readers will be able to disentangle truth from fiction. Anyway, the goal is not to dissect the text to extract truth, but to share these unexpected tales.
