The untitled piece by Jean Pierre Nadau is a rhythmical display of obsessive images...crazy tribal figures and odd images dance around on the page like maniacs who forgot their Ritalin! The overall image is complex and saturated...the intensity is cleverly balanced by the black images spread around the overall drawing...Visually, we group things by similar shapes, colors and values...in this piece, the black elements act as one unit, connecting all areas of the picture plane...they create calm in an otherwise frenetic composition...the viewer has an overall feeling of energy and intensity...these subjects also tell a story, begin the interact and sing together in a kind of visual harmony...the context is tribal and naive, this piece pulls you in and holds you with its energetic flow and diverse mark making...
