Gaspard de Lalune was born in Bordeaux in 1876. He began his career as an artist in 1898, and is said to have participated in the DADA movement before the Surrealist discord. An author and thinker, he used puns and deliberately absurd approximations to escape the gravity of life. Combining engravings and typography, his ambition was to revolutionize the way society thought at the time. He panache with poetry, potty humor and incandescent aesthetics. Often with his head in the moon and eyebrow raised, he nevertheless keeps his feet on the ground, loves croissants and says “chocolatine”. He’s a man who fights for the best and for laughter. Not a drunken alcoholic, he enjoys the passing of time like an epicurean, desperately seeking meaning in life, knowing full well that life has no meaning… Artazart exhibited “Les Pieds sur Terre” in 2018.
