Description

Ludovic Thiriez, Stringed Deers (2025)
Mixed media on canvas — 100 × 100 cm

With "Stringed Deers", Ludovic Thiriez unfolds an enigmatic scene set within a nocturnal landscape, where nature becomes the stage for an open-ended narrative. The composition is structured around animal figures—deer whose postures are both calm and unsettling—and a human presence: a hooded silhouette, almost erased, moving through the space as if in silence.

The forest setting is fragmented by lines, frames, and points of light that cross the canvas and disrupt its reading. Pale tree trunks carve out depth, while vividly colored, almost unreal vegetation dialogues with a dark, nocturnal background. This layering of planes and graphic signs creates a constant tension between figuration and abstraction, between a readable scene and a mental landscape.

The deer, connected by fine lines suggesting strings or invisible trajectories, introduce a discreet symbolic dimension. Without fixing meaning, the painting evokes ideas of connection, guidance, or constraint, leaving the viewer free to interpret the relationships between the figures, the space, and these graphic elements.

This painting fully belongs to Ludovic Thiriez’s universe: a form of narrative painting without an imposed story, where living beings, nature, and graphic signs coexist in a fragile balance. An immersive work—both mysterious and deeply contemporary—that invites slow, intuitive viewing.
