Underpinned by an irresistable energy and impelled by an innate rhythmic drive, Thierrey Pecou's Symphonie du Jaguar and Vague de pierre explore the mysteries of pre-Columbian Mayan Mexico and literary painters of ancient China. The Symphonie du Jaguar depicts the cyclic course of time and the trajectory of the sun and in the form of a red jaguar in its journey into the bowels of the earth where it is regenerated. Vague du pierre ('Stone wave,' a literal translation of 'Shi Tao,' a Chinese painter of the late Manchu dynasty) is inspired by an external source, the writings of Francois Cheng and Francois Jullien on art and philosophy in China.
