"For several years I have been retrieving, buying and collecting old photographs, old identity portraits and family photographs from an earlier era. Little by little I started drawing with a Posca felttip painting pen, on the originals, initially just for the fun of it and without anything specific in mind. Later on, as I really liked that support, I continued to develop that approach by initiating a dialogue between the illustration and its photographic support. I started masking the faces, moving away from those rather set portraits to introduce a form of mystery, of uncanny. I derive my inspiration both from the effervescence in less affluent neighbourhoods and from the imagery of the sacred or in the tradition of masks in socalled primitive societies. The sources merge, creating a universe which I can call mine. The sources merge, creating a universe that is both dreamlike and a bit bashed up, inhabited by nice monsters and phantasmagoric creatures." Mathieu Van AsscheText in English and French.
