"When looking through the work of Didier Hamey, populated by hybrid and joyful beings maintaining in perfect harmony relationships that are, to say the least, ambiguous, the triptych of the Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch (1453-1516) quickly comes to mind. This masterful work continues to be debated and we are still trying to decipher the details of the intentions of the painter who represents an imaginary world teeming with characters whose unusual attitudes have nothing in common with an ordinary earthly life. (…) Didier Hamey's work does not illustrate a world, it forms a world…"
according to Paul Ripoche
The 'Bonshommes' are a series - still in progress - of around fifty drypoint engravings begun at the Casa de Velasquez in Madrid around the rock carnivals of the Spanish Basque country.
Together, they form a bestiary of hybrid, fantastical and mysterious figures, in osmosis with Nature and the landscape. Furry and feathered, animal and plant, Boûfadou, Omsô and their companions bear witness to the wild and teeming worlds as they certainly were in those distant times forgotten by man.
Nesting between humus and canopy, between shadow and light, charming and frightful, this people of tales draws on the imagination of our childhood and laughingly gives it new vigor...
• Outdoors: choose locations where people take a walk and/or where there is a lot of foot traffic: in the centre of the town, near a school, in a public garden or along a walking trail... And if possible, on flat ground!
• Indoors: reception hall, office, waiting room, dining room, meeting room - choose the best-lit space.
CAUTION: If the space where you are displaying the exhibition is slightly damp, we recommend purchasing eight simple frames of the same size (50 x 70 cm) to protect the prints.
The papers we have chosen for printing our exhibitions meet two essential criteria, among others: beautiful colour rendering and durability.
• Exhibitions intended for outdoor display are printed on high-quality 130gsm blue-backed paper.
• For exhibitions intended for indoor display, we have chosen a 550gsm semi-rigid paper to which we attach a simple hanging system. These panels can therefore be hung on a single nail or framed if they are to be displayed in a slightly damp location.
For outdoor displays, our poster formats have been chosen to best suit “election” billboards:
• Large outdoor format (84 x 119 cm) for maximum impact. With one poster per billboard, you will need eight in total.
• Small outdoor format (63 x 93 cm) so that two posters can be placed on the same billboard... meaning you only need to install four billboards.
• Indoor exhibition (50 x 70 cm): 8 prints to hang on 5 linear metres of free wall space.
