About this artwork
Inspired by the Erika boat which dumped industrial waste on the Brittany coast, this sculpture evokes the recurring problem of the reprocessing of waste, whether radioactive or not, and confronts us with our responsibilities as consumers.
After the sinking of the tanker Erika, a sea lion is cleaning up the beach.

« For me, drawing is a way to fix a moment of unstable and fleeting vision. The drawing is a first, natural breath, which produces breath and life, as well as gesture and rhythm. »
Colomban Mouginot never decided to be an artist. He realized he had a permanent need to work on something that answered his questions, tirelessly searching for a form that could reconcile his interests. The award-winning Belgian painter’s striking abstract works are not intended to convey emotion in the viewer. He paints using acrylics, pencils, pastels, charcoal, and graphite.
