In this energetic and abundant work, Robert Combas revisits the biblical episode of Noah’s drunkenness with his own pictorial language: a profusion of lines, raw theatricality, a taut irony. Between sacred and profane, myth and excess, he distorts the ancestral narrative into a free, saturated, intensely living aesthetic. A strong example of the narrative vitality of figuration libre.
