Dimitri Rybaltchenko takes us on a visual adventure of which he is the authorizer. The gaze is lost in the informal to discern little by little the silhouettes that hide there. Everything is a matter of angle of view: "to connect scattered elements with no apparent meaning and to give them a meaning, a life," is how the draftsman conceives this path of thought, just as an idea is born "in itself. letting go to daydream, letting his eyes hover. "A few tasks are enough to break the silence," he says, and the silence here gives way to the galloping horses, the rhythmic breath of their race.

Carle Vernet and Jonny Audy, equestrian painters of the eighteenth and nineteenth century, are also invited to this exercise of style. To divert, to lead to a resolutely modern form the very foundations of its classicism, here is a condition of mind befitting the Hermès house. Monochrome originally multicolored, Horse surprise remix continues to capture the imagination. It is presented here on a white background, lined with a pale pink aura. A wonder !
