"Le conte à rebours" by Nicol;as Monjo: A Dreamlike and Symbolic Journey

In his painting titled "Le conte à rebours", artist Nicolas Monjo invites us into a world blending tenderness and absurdity. Playing on words, the title cleverly hints at the artist’s thoughtful and poetic approach. Created using acrylic and oil on canvas, this work, measuring 92x65x2 cm, is rich in symbolism and intricate details, offering a captivating and complex narrative.

A Composition Full of Tenderness and Contradictions

At the heart of the scene, we find a couple embracing tenderly while playing a string instrument, possibly a red ukulele. Their expressive faces and intertwined bodies convey a deep sense of intimacy and emotional connection. At their feet, a blue cat wearing 3D glasses adds a surreal touch, evoking a cinematic or dreamlike world—an element Monjo often explores in his works. Surrounding the couple are unexpected symbols, such as a tank depicted in the framed background and a folded paper boat, all of which contribute to the painting’s rich, multi-layered storytelling.

Symbols and Hidden Meanings

The play on words in the title "Le conte à rebours" suggests both a story being told (as in a “conte,” meaning tale) and a countdown, implying a tension between the fleeting nature of time and the eternal moment captured in the painting. The contrast between the intimate, central scene and the absurd or symbolic elements, like the tank or anthropomorphic cat, creates a striking dissonance that challenges the viewer. Each component of the painting seems to both present a mystery and offer a key to unlocking the larger narrative.

A Piece for Contemporary Art Collectors

With "Le conte à rebours", Nicolas Monjo demonstrates his ability to capture moments of life imbued with both poetry and critical insight. The piece’s modest dimensions allow it to fit beautifully in a modern home or a contemporary art gallery. It’s a unique work that will undoubtedly attract collectors seeking a painting that is both emotionally compelling and thought-provoking.
