‘There are times when you need to take a look twice. The corner of your eye detects something unusual and behold! You look back.

 

That was the feeling I got when I first saw the French artist Baptiste Debombourg’s exhibitions. Perhaps it was because, among other reasons, he is a trompe l’oeil expert, that visual deceit or magic art uses sometimes. If we stay on the surface, he could seem to be an artist whose main purpose could be to cause some kind of effect, mainly amusement, upon the layperson. However, if we pay attention to the way in which he produces his works, we can see that more profound motivations underlie.’
