Underpinned by an irresistible energy and impelled by an innate rhythmic drive, Thierry Pécou's Symphonie du Jaguar and Vague de pierre explore the mysteries of pre-Columbian Mayan Mexico and literary painters of ancient China. The Symphonie du Jaguar depicts the cyclic course of time and the trajectory of the sun and in the form of a red jaguar in its journey into the bowels of the earth where it is regenerated. Vague de pierre ('Stone wave', a literal translation of 'Shi Tao', a Chinese literary painter of the late Manchu dynasty) is inspired by an external source, the writings of François Cheng and François Jullien on art and philosophy in China.
