Dessin d'existence n°18 Dessins d'Existence by François Hébel: Opening horizons. Balancing between several worlds. Standing on the edge of uncertain assurance. It's impressive how many personal projections a few black lines evoke in me. Opening horizons: a simple window or the exciting map of a world to be discovered. Balancing: will the graceful figure cross the enclosure, to fall or soar with those wings spread? The tightrope walker holds onto the frame as much as he performs the feat of enlarging it on a base that has the fragility of thread. He is fascinated by the unknown to close a horizon or give perspective: the frame as a symbol of art. With few elements this drawing is eloquent. The only certainty is that this man or woman is willing to leave a narrow space. It's a promise that summons us. Claudia Huidobro is a Franco-Chilean artist.
