Jean-Luc Verna
Jean-Luc Verna's drawings are the memories of his drawings. The trichloethylene that he uses to reproduce them also change them. He then intervenes the copy to make them beautiful and unique. His method hides a natural drawing to give place to a drawing that already existed but that had never before been discovered.
