Treize Bis (13 bis), street artist and collagist, enchants us with his poetic, dreamlike collages composed from images drawn from our shared memory to extract the raw material, the stripped-down, elementary form, inscribed in our collective unconscious.The artist draws inspiration from our pictorial heritage to restore not the works themselves, but the traces and remnants printed on the neglected walls of our streets. Treize Bis recomposes, decontextualises and transforms old pictorial elements to deliver them, like a surrealist reminiscence (reminiscent of the work of Max Ernst), through fragmentary and heterogeneous compositions, not without a sense of humour at times, and whose melting-pot effect is essentially due to the soft, translucent whiteness that covers it, as if to better discover the virginal nudity and fragility of the grain, the skin and the paper. Through its collages, Treize Bis touches on the timeless, where transience, erasure, trace and absence emerge."By collaging on city walls, I invite the viewer to dream. These 'wild' collages, imbued with poetry, are interventions in the urban landscape whose themes and sources of inspiration are often Greek and Roman mythology, memories of Méliès films where fantasy rubs shoulders with the whimsical, old images (19th century) of natural science engravings reminiscent of the world of curiosity cabinets and refer back to memory and the past. The wastelands and old streets are my favourite media, because they provide the poetic response I'm looking for - memories of those who have disappeared and are sinking into oblivion." - Treize Bis
