Excerpt from the exhibition text by Margaux Bonopera (in French language):

“Dans cette série, les combinaisons créées par la rencontre des différents éléments dessinés proposent quelque chose de plus sculptural. La feuille de papier devient un espace neutre, tel un whitecube, tandis que la troisième dimension des objects apparaît de manière tout à fait surprenante. L’héritage surréaliste n’est pas négligeable dans le travail de Dane Patterson. C’est un surréalisme un peu tragique qui se dessine, un surréalisme qui tente de nous faire réaliser à quel jeu absurde nous jouons parfois, souvent, tout le temps. Mais en observant les dessins de Dane Patterson, un souffle étrange peut également apparaître, un souffle plus connu sous le nom de rire.”
