Abstractions 2

Leou's Abstractions spread on more than 1500 pages included in 8 comic books. This prodigal artwork remains unclassifiable and disconcerting by its complexity and the untamed freedom emanating from it. Original and alive, Abstractions creates an intimate diary, telling the story of Leou's art and thought, unfolding since 1996. He blows up comics by pushing it to its limits; thus, he creates a universal visionary language, close to that of the Egyptians and Mayas, in order to express the essence of beauty. Abstractions is a coherent self-reference system participating to the actualization of his creator's entelechy, using this subtle language as an awakening tool. He fiercely and uncompromisingly follows his inspiration, feeding on his experiences to make it visible in a style which is specific to him. Attentive observers will notice a subtle progression in Leou's language throughout the years, sustained by a strong desire to endlessly push his own limits. However, it should be underlined that the symbols and iconography which are typical of Abstractions have unfolded right from the start of the series and stabilized rapidly, one could almost say they had their proper existence and were waiting for the right moment to reveal themselves. Thus, readers shouldn't try to understand or interpret this artwork but instead feel it with the most subtle part of their being, letting go of the mind and sink within the flow of images and symbols.---Les Abstractions de Leou s'étalent sur plus de 1500 pages réparties sur 8 albums. Cette oeuvre prodigue demeure inclassable et troublante par sa complexité et la liberté sauvage qui en émane. Originale et vivante, elle forme un journal qui rend compte du développement de la pensée et de l'art de Leou, de 1996 jusqu'à aujourd'hui. Il y fait éclater la bande-dessinée en la poussant sans ménagement à sa limite; l'illimitant, il crée un langage visionnaire universel, proche des hiéroglyphes égyptiens et mayas, capable d'exprimer l'essence même de la beauté. Abstractions forme un système cohérent d'auto-références participant à l'actualisation de l'entéléchie de son créateur qui utilise ce langage subtil comme un outil d'éveil. Il suit farouchement son inspiration, sans concession ni compromis, et se nourrit de ses expériences pour les rendre visibles dans un style qui lui est propre. Les observateurs attentifs remarqueront une progression subtile du langage de Leou au fil des albums, qui est soutenue par son désir ardent de repousser sans cesse ses propres limites. Toutefois il faut souligner que les symboles et l'iconographie qui caractérisent Abstractions se sont déployés dès les premières pages de cette série pour se stabiliser rapidement, comme s'ils avaient déjà une existence propre et n'attendaient que le bon moment pour se révéler. Le lecteur ne devrait donc pas chercher à comprendre ou interpréter cette oeuvre mais plutôt à la sentir avec les parties les plus subtiles de son être en se laissant porter par le flot des images et symboles.
