Camouflag is a textile work measuring 1m50 by 2m, which has the function of covering another. A work that we assume more, that makes us ashamed, that bothers us, that we simply don't want to see anymore. A kind of very conspicuous camouflage (hyper flag!) which would subtly ask us if there are not works that should be covered. What are your red flags in art?

​

Camouflag may be a failed camouflage. An absurd camouflage. A camouflage named with a hot potato in the mouth, "a camouflag", something that can stick in the throat.

​

Camouflag is perhaps also a daring attempt, a strategic protocol so that my work can be found above other works and soon everywhere. Camouflag is perhaps a continuation of my Adrian Cadet project. To explore the figure of the artist, I divide my practice into several fictitious dualities: There is mine (Léonard Rachex), that of my artist alter ego (Adrian Cadet), and finally a more entrepreneurial one (©Léon'art) .

​

Camouflag is perhaps the dream of any careerist artist...

​

Ethical, poetic or egotrip research, we don't really know with Camouflag.

​

Are we facing one artistic piece or three? The woven painting, the work that covers it, and the marriage of the two which then creates a third piece?

​

In any case, Camouflag is an artistic project that has a function: to cover. It is almost an everyday object.

​

After all, Camouflag may be an artistic work that would like to be a consumer product.

​

Camouflag is certainly a reflection on the making of a work.
 

The artist is called within the framework of this residence, to collaborate with an art profession to lead to the creation of a common work. For this, the Center called on Fiaccre Accalogoun, a weaver from Abomey.

The project was supervised by the textile expertise of Adonon Constant.
