Additional Information

Télémaque titled this semi-abstract oil on canvas painting Eclaireur, which can be translated as ‘the guide’. Fluent in three languages, the artist has expressed his interest in language and its relationship to art. With this in mind, the title’s relationship to the content of the artwork becomes a device as thought-provoking as the creature-like elements that feature in the piece.

60 x 80 cm is the largest print size option we are able to offer for this artwork.
