For a long time, engraving has been the only technique allowing the wide-spreading of images. Its history is a succession of technical developments and is also strongly characterized by the increasing use of images and thus, by the evolution of their function (lithography, photography, serigraphy), have gradually expanded the range and potential of expression in 20th century art .
 What I find most interesting in Mannerist engraving, is the representation developed around mythological and religious themes and their potential echoes in today’s super-heroes, bodybuilders… and the violence of “Male-Power cult “.
 I then use some images by “worsening” the scale, the form or the context to produce an installation in the architecture by means of staples. The recurring theme in these paintings revolves around the collapse that resonates with staples. Here the staple is a material and a media that plays with contemporary aggression and daily life’s secular usefulness. — Baptiste Debombourg
