Original artwork description:

FINDING ROUSSEAU is part of "Le Moschine", a series of acrylic paintings in the style of old American cartoons from the 1920s and 1930s.
Many of these works are inspired by musical pieces of the period, which constitute the ideal soundtrack. (Jungle Fever, Mills Brothers 1935)

The jungle depicted in Rousseau's paintings is an imaginary, surreal, magical and mysterious place. It is the fantasy of a city man, born from visits to zoos and botanical gardens, postcards, illustrated books and his vivid imagination.
His paintings are magical doors, an access point between our boring world and this fantastic universe, an escape way to enchanted kingdoms.
Well, according to our studies, the Jungle of Le Moschine and that of Rousseau are very close and connected.
To prove it, two of the most courageous explorers of Le Moschine, Daisy and Lucky Cat, have set off on a very dangerous expedition in Search of Rousseau, and these images document this undertaking.
They will draw new maps, describe unknown landscapes, plants and animals. In the hope of meeting Rousseau, being able to compliment him, talk about painting, and maybe drink a glass of absinthe together.

The work is ready to hang on the wall, complete with a gilded wooden frame.

Materials used:

wooden board, acrylic paint, pencils
