Lionel Avignon's drawing exhibition
Galerie Six Elzévir
6 rue Elzévir, 75003 Paris

This work is an archive of ideas, questions and introspection. With a simple line, I draw, then I isolate the images which are for me at the crossroads of a personal and universal topicality. The subjects talk about my place as a man in society and his behavior, networks, genealogies and seduction games. They are also the mirror of the ephemeral and the perpetual renewals, of the scale between the infinitely small and the infinitely large and more generally of our relationship to memory.
My drawing is the vector of my desire to continue to observe society with the gaze that a child casts on the adult world. I cultivate my naivety, I like to observe with shift and my work illustrates this will, this desire to question the world with candor and to give a lasting trace to these thoughts of a second, to archive reality with humility and perhaps also reassure me about my own existence.
