In April 2009 Jean Charles de Castelbajac presented his first series of paintings ‘The Triumph of Sign’ in the Paradise Row Gallery in London. Now Jean Charles brings us his newest series ‘The Tyranny of Beauty’ this time in the La B.A.N.K. Gallery. Keeping with the same obsession, for the past 40 years, Castelbajac has been using reworks and appropriations to create bridges between practice and symbolism to trigger questions and evoke a kind of emotional nostalgia. The tyranny in question is that of an insatiable need to please, of youth’s domination, of a quest for immortality and of the denial of time past.His aim is to demonstrate that everyone can do beauty and good, like in the Snow White syndrome in a series of Flanders tapestries. Personally I think this work looks quite nice, but it looks extremely like the formula he used in his latest series, and that makes it not very surprising or refreshing. I still prefer him as a fashion designer!
