-There in the middle of the hill I saw flying the images of brightly colored carts! Only if Atahualpa Yupanqui could see this, I kept telling myself. Seeing the banners being lifted one by one, I thought that they were getting in formation to attack us. Not even Don Quixote’s windmills made such a ruckus… But after a while, I did start to understand that these flags were substituting the ancient obelisks… Beware! Because when a stranger arrives and knows how to interpret the landscape and its people, that is an artist! Georges Le Chevallier immersed in the color and geometry of the cities, ductile but with a strong gaze, creates symbols with the strength of time and the hand of an artist.

-George LeChevallier graced the lawns of the Hambidge Center in northeast Georgia with the installation of his work. Taking art to the out-of-doors, introducing bright colors to the gentle green surroundings and giving a contemporary note to the turn of the century buildings and grounds is one of the elements of George’s work that makes him a noteworthy artist of our times.

-Georges has a clear interest in and commitment to the community. To assure a complete understanding of our public project (the Raleigh Red Wolf Ramble) he, along with another artist, has provided a workshop for new and less experienced artists and has worked in our promotional campaign. On two occasions he has attended a press conference and done a television taping on behalf of our project. On all of these occasions he has been well received.

-I have complete respect for tattoo artists and I consider tattoos to be a serious art form. The “Tattooed Bovine’ series are inspired by the tribal tattoos from the Maori people in the Pacific Ocean. Years ago tattoos were thought to be only for travelers and sailors, but now a new generation has re-defined the role of tattoos in our society.

-The first work that one encounters at el Musec del Barrio sets the tone perfectly for this year’s “S-Files” exhibition. Georges Le Chevallier’s Drawing for Public Program, 2000 is executed on the front door of the museum. At once abstract and figurative, decorative and conceptual, playful and provocative, this giant striped question mark captures the extremes of the exhibition. In fact, Le Chevallier, a “Latino” artist born in France - the former epicenter of European modernism - himself represents the more open-ended nature of this show.
