The painter dran (born in 1979, lives and works in Toulouse) has taken over the big staircase connecting the two floors of the exhibition Inside. Unexposed tonatural light, this graphic tour exclusively painted black feels like a descent into the bowels of the building. Filled with souvenirs, observations and emotions, stories and anecdotes, this intervention constitutes a spatial portrait that unfolds as one walks down the stairs. Comics, caricature and graffiti accompanied him all along his studies at the school of fine arts in Toulouse, creating a parallel world to a reality he felt he didn’t belong to. He gained recognition through his books, such as La télévision (2005), Ma ville, je l’aime (2005) or 100 jours et quelques (2010), suffused with satire, humor and a surrealist spirit. dran speaks through imagery as a mime would scream. Drawing and its therapeutic side are his link to the world outside and life.
