I like to use this technical process - tearing up drawings and sticking them back on top of others in order to obtain a new image, like the literary technique of "Cut-up", much used in particular by Williams Burroughs in the years 60.
A technique that brings many surprises and offers great freedom.
Drawing of an imaginary architectural fragment, part of the eponymous series. It is made with a ballpoint pen, on a spiral notebook page, then deliberately torn and reattached using tape on a blank sheet of thick paper, then completed.

Claude Duvauchelle is a contemporary French artist whose work has been centered on the human body for the past two decades. This constant fascination serves as a rich source of inspiration, enabling him to express the deep emotions, anxieties, and hopes of modern humanity. Through his art, Duvauchelle explores the alienation and struggles brought on by the violence of modern civilization, portraying humanity as regressing to a primal state, enslaved by its most destructive instincts.
Duvauchelle’s creative process is marked by a continuous evolution of techniques and themes, which allows him to avoid repetition and keep his work fresh. His early influences include the Quattrocento painters, particularly Mantegna’s "Dead Christ," where he was drawn to the dramatic interplay of light and shadow, martyrdom, and crucifixions. Géricault’s romanticism and the tragic body also left a significant imprint on his artistic journey, adding layers of sublimation to his tragic depictions.
In his recent works, Duvauchelle translates these classical inspirations into a modern context. He aims to illustrate the downfall of today’s world, capturing the alienation and evil rooted in both societal and individual violence. His allegorical representations speak to the universal human condition, reflecting the programmed decay of contemporary civilization.
