Ambroise & Victor - Sheep (MOUTON)

Ink painting, 150×90cm, ink on paper (encre de Chine)

A horned sheep in profile stands quietly against a dark green wall. Its fluffy wool is depicted by layering countless small dots, expressing a soft texture and plumpness solely through the bleeding of the ink. In the center of its body, a softly outlined black window opens up, revealing a small field-like scene where twigs, leaves, and small birds breathe. As noted in the document, Ambroise & Victor have re-envisioned the sheep as a being that defies the common notion of "an animal that merely follows the flock." In this work, the sheep's way of quietly facing its own pasture and being content is expressed as a serene landscape residing within its body.
