PAINTING: 'PRIMITIVE WO MEN' 2007-2008
In these works from 2007/8 Le Rougetel depicts men and women, or as he prefers to say 'WO MEN'.
'Primitive Man', 'Primitive Woman' and the 4 'Primitive Heads' were influenced by Dubuffet. He built up the images using polyfiller, paint, hands, scrapers and brushes. They act as sketches for the series of primitive ceramic heads that led to the installation 'Thank gods for Christmas'.
