Serge Prunier, who is exhibiting at the Pôle Culture & Attrabilité until October 31, is not shying away. It occurs “without any particular theme and has no other claim than to entertain”. “Nath B.” who has a long experience of exhibitions and working with painters, appreciates her touch and her framing which she readily associates with the art of comics. “It is a very drawn, precise, colorful painting, with care given to the line and the expression”. We couldn’t say it better. A West Indian sips a Coke, leaning against a blue harp in a vegetal luxuriance. The simple art of killing time. Among the frames, a pink flamingo where the sharpness of the orange eye (the killer’s eye) contrasts with this fur-like plumage, like the boa of a girl at the Casino de Paris who is about to go down the large staircase. A sunflower cries, a hooked, toothless and wrinkled witch appears disguised for Halloween. Another toothless man (he still has a stump) is laughing behind his glasses: laughing or croquignolesque? Serge Prunier has the know-how of caricaturists who get to the point. The beauty with the cigarette holder has everything of the seductress, a femme fatale leaning towards her future prey, but also romantic in her lost gaze. Eye-catching and concealing, or a blue flower that displays distinguished spleen? Nath B. sees her as an “elegant 1930s, both pensive and voluptuous”.
