ANNE ROUMANOFF, THAT'S GOOD
In 2020 in Paris, his cat will be the attraction of the French capital, with twenty sculptures of cats exposed. Meanwhile, Philippe Geluck publishes a 22nd album of the adventures of his feline companion: The Rumba of the Cat . On the program, word games, laughter and shift on more or less serious subjects. Indeed, as usual, the Belgian designer does not refrain from treating the news with his particular tone.
Heard on europe1:
If it's really done with humor, it can pass with many readerships
In La Rumba du Chat , it's about #MeToo or even burqa. Topics that often provoke tension in the public debate. To treat such sensitive subjects without provoking controversy, Philippe Geluck believes that it is enough to do it in "funny way". "If it's really done with humor, if it's funny, it can happen to many readers," says the artist Anne Roumanoff. Cat's dad goes on to explain that his method proves his good faith about it. "In my drawings, it is clear that I am on the side of the oppressed, people who suffer, people who do not have the floor," he says.
At the microphone of Europe 1, Philippe Geluck evoked his youth with his communist parents to justify this bias. Even after years of success, he says that this education still lives on him. "I'm very impressed by that, we did not have anything, but we were the happiest people in the world," he says.
