These enigmatic paintings illustrate a personal mythology. They appeal, upset or disturb... but never leave the observer indifferent. They operate a clever mirror effect through their subjects, which are shamelessly engaging and tempt us into “voyeurism” by leading us into an intimate world that is both inaccessible and open to doubt. This phantasmagorical universe, which is born in the very depths of its conceiver's subconscious and skilfully put into perspective by the painter, takes us on a fascinating and provocative journey of discovery to meet half-man half-beast hybrids stemming from ancient Greek iconography. It is hardly surprising therefore that, for their pseudonym, the "duo" chose the Gorgon (in Greek Gorgo), the imaginary creature capable of petrifying those that look at it.
