Resilience
ARTWORK DESCRIPTION:
Every year more than a million wildebeest take on a perilous trek in a search for water and grazing land. It is one of the most spectacular migrations on earth, a cycle for the species to survive, a fantastic display of resilience through obstacles. So much we can learn for ourselves.
ARTIST BIOGRAPHY:
Fascinated by the beauty of nature and its wilderness, Sailev (Simon Levasseur) has always been confronted with the damage from human activities. From this duality he draws a creative force that imbues his paintings with a vision of the world that is poetic and alarming. Sailev was born in 1982 in Northern France and he lives and works near Honfleur, in the heart of Normandy. He has also lived in several countries including Russia, Hong Kong, and the Philippines where he has enjoyed meeting their local wildlife.
