Jean and George united their work and formed a team by the time they started to act as a team in various other matters and experiences as well; like the vagrant actions in the streets of the neighbourhood, the weird scenes they faced, the solutions they found, the injustices and discrimination they went through and their drunken night. In other words, simply life. Their primary interest is the portrayal of unique and atypical art and not necessarily the “pretty” and “aesthetic”, nor the industrial and commercial side of art. We imagine a form of art that is free and spontaneous in terms of expression and style, and unrestricted by meaning and essence. Some are portraying bizarre dreams and others are just paper-pads containing fragmented nightmares of our sleep. A number of them are childhood traumas, phobias and fears, drunken thoughts and others just comforting fantasies and illusions from lousy conversations.
