The artist Aurèle Ricard aka Aurele Lostdog (born in 1963) can be recognized by a certain power of affirmation. One word could undoubtedly define his relationship to the world which animates his work as well as his life: action.
Aurèle's work takes on the appearance of a struggle: as much a struggle for art as a struggle for life. An enraged committed artist, Aurèle has created a work that conveys a message of urgency and resistance to the scourges of an era and of which the lost dog is the symbol. Aurèle has been developing, for more than twenty-five years, the same radical project of transmitting modern wanderings. Its goal: to mobilize present and future generations in the face of wars, epidemics, ecological catastrophes, political and media excesses, precariousness and exclusion, inequalities, the problem of overconsumption. In Aurèle's world, art confronts reality and thereby becomes a true "mirror of modernity".
