This enigmatic painter is Charles Debouk, at least as he calls himself. We found him in a paint shop, in the middle of the village's small streets, exposing Gerard Salomon's work :
As interesting Salomon's work might be, we've been a lot more entertained by the shop's keeper.
Loud voice with an eastern Europe accent, kind of picasso's 60 deep and dark look, for sure the man is charismatic enough. The man welcomed us and expressed some of his contempt for others artists exposing in Saint Paul : he thinks that they aren't giving praise to art, but just offering supply for the market, being boosted by the entertainment wishes of wealthy individuals, hence they paint monet looking, innocent landscape of the countryside...
He seemed to think little better of his friend Gerard Salomon, cleverly eluded the topic, and show us his own work as the real thing, beyond financial and art market considerations :
Charles Debouk co-created the art mouvement called Enigmatism, with his friend Gerard Salomon. Here's the definition of this mouvement :
"Enigmatism is a school of art in which figuratives images are presented in their original visiomental perspectives, projected directly from the mind's eye without interpretations or readjustements imposed by the standard of our optical measure"
Fine...
Debouk told us a story that sums up very well his ends in art. It involves himself and a rich buyer :
Buyer : paintings are too dark. I need something joyful, that will match my lifestyle
Debouk : art reflects the creator's feelings. It is fundamental in my work. It reflects my feelings toward the world status right now
Buyer : what's wrong ? Somebody died ? I don't see so much trouble to put all that black gouache on the canvas !!
Debouk : you really want to know ? When I painted that i was inspired by all the kind of rotten stuff there's in your head !!
The story says the buyer never came back ...
