@ Nan GoldinHIS LOST DOG MOTIF SHOULD SYMBOLICALLY BE INTERPRETED AS A KIND OF SELF-PORTRAIT AND AS A VITAL LEAD WHICH GUIDES US THROUGH A PROFUSION OF IMAGES PRESENTED FOR US TO PONDER. THE ARTIST'S OWN LIFE ACCORDINGLY PROVIDES ONGOING CONTENT FOR HIS ART. OVERALL, HOWEVER, THE STRONGEST INFLUENCE ON THE ARTIST IS THE IDEA THAT TO "FIND ONE'S BEARINGS" IN LIFE IS A CONCEPT WE MUST ALL CONFRONT. HERE THEN, THE ARTIST'S METAPHORICAL IMAGE OF THE LOST DOG BECOMES A DIRECT REFLECTION OF OUR OWN LIVES AND THEREFORE THE SYMBOL OF THE LOST DOG IS A CONSTANT IMAGE IN HIS WORK. INTERESTINGLY HIS WORK NOT ONLY INCLUDES PAINTING BUT PHOTOGRAPHY, VIDEO, SCULPTURE, DISPLAYS AND ASSEMBLAGES OF ALL KINDS. STEADILY, WITH AMUSEMENT AND ZEAL, AURÈLE USES THE CONCEPT OF THE LOST DOG TO CLEAR A WAY THROUGH THE ABSURDITY AND VIOLENCE OF THINGS SURROUND US ON A TIRED AND RAVAGED PLANET, A LACERATED GROUND, WHICH IS NOT ONLY POLLUTED BUT IS CONSTANTLY UNDER PRESSURE FROM OUR ENDLESS REQUEST.
