Description from the seller
From the smoking ashes of Biscarrosse, the "Fire Boy" moves in precarious balance on a world that is burning. This work is the fixed cry of our chaos, a visual and poignant reminder of the human footprint on our planet.

Artist biography:
Former tagger in the 1990s, Enigme09 discovered photomontage in 2009. Painter Jacques Monory reinforced him in the path he chose by suggesting a poetic approach to his art.
His compositions assemble elements from the world of advertising or popular culture and others belonging to the corpus of Art History. Their blend is cutting-edge, explosive, surprising, disturbing, but also invites us to question the status of images and any possible hierarchy of values between them.
The artist manages to give meaning to familiar signs, emptied of any content due to their overwhelming presence. But, of course, this meaning is most often far from their original signified. Enigme09 sums up his artistic creed in a concise formula: “give voice to images to open our eyes.”
