Jean-Baptiste SAUVAGE

Tucson, April 2022. A Vietnam War helicopter at the aviation museum with this design painted on its nose. The same design appears on a wall in this Tucson neighborhood, where many homeless people, sometimes former soldiers, roam the streets with their belongings under often scorching heat. Kurtz—that’s the name of the dissident colonel, Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now. This painting is for him, for them. Symetria was truly drawn to this project. We have a strong connection to Tucson and are particularly sensitive to the themes of "Apocalypse Now", which resonate deeply with us. This affinity naturally led to a collaboration with Jean-Baptiste on an edition project, expanding on the original work. We recently met to refine the vision and define the next steps, and we’re excited to see it come to life soon.

It is with a shared plastic sensibility that John M. Armlder and Symetria conceived and produced the piece "light my fire". This work reveals by its technical and pictorial characteristics, an outcome of the status of the work of art both by its perception and its apprehension. Is there really a boundary between art and decor, outside and inside ? Through this filter and just as through a mirror, do we really perceive the fluctuation of bodies and ideas through the capricious moods of time and history? Here are the few questions that we wanted to materialize by creating, together, this solar, luminous and precious edition.
