Presentation
Former street artist in the 1990s, Enigme09 (Cédric Marquise) discovered photomontage in 2009. Painter Jacques Monory will support him in the path he has chosen by suggesting a poetic approach to his art.
His compositions piece together elements from the world of advertising and popular culture with the corpus of art history. Their blending is clean, explosive, surprising, disturbing, but also makes us wonder about the status of images and a possible hierarchy of values between them.
The artist succeeds in giving sense to familiar signs, emptied of any content by their overload. But this sense is often far from their original meaning. Enigme09 sums up his artistic credo in a pithy formula: "making images open our eyes."
