About the artwork

Welcome to "Coq Domestique", a unique work of art in which the ancient and modern come together. This work is inspired by Charles Dessalines D'Orbigny's original print, a tribute to his artistic legacy. Using digital techniques, I redesigned and remixed the print, applying modern polygons to give a contemporary touch to this ancient rooster.

The result is a captivating visual fusion of tradition and innovation. The characteristic features of the rooster from the original print remain, but are transformed by the geometric shapes and clean lines of the modern polygons. This contrast creates an exciting visual game, where the old and new elements reinforce each other and offer a fresh perspective on a classic motif.

"Coq Domestique" is a tribute to the timeless beauty of animals in art and the constant evolution of artistic expression. The work invites the viewer to explore the boundaries of tradition and innovation, and to reflect on the power of remixing and reinterpretation in the art world.

By combining the ancient print with modern techniques and aesthetics, it creates a dynamic dialogue between past and present. It is a celebration of the resilience and adaptability of art, honouring and embracing the past while allowing for new interpretations and possibilities.

"Coq Domestique" invites you to admire the ancient rooster in a modern guise and reflect on the power of artistic transformation. It is a work of art that embraces the rich history of art while offering a vision of the future of creative expression.
