It is not always possible for taste to follow a straight road, because it is linked to the social and political situations in which we live. Man's need to be more introspective, attracted by mysticism and non-rational figures, full of ancient, spiritual meaning, has produced a look ever-present after '68: the "dark" look which took several roads up to the present time. A gothic look, made up of involutions, forms that are complex, harsh, excessive, lacking colour and very stylised. This "dark" look has evolved into a "new liberty", lightening the original heaviness, for example bringing a skull to be associated with a spray of flowers. The gloominess of the times has felt the need to become lighter. These stylistic features are synthetisised in Gothic Pop and the books of this series. The graphics in Gothic Pop Graphics Vol.1 are decidedly more complex , like a composition that unites different structures; one conceptual, that is the contents determined by images and text, the other decorative, made up of rounded signs, pseudonatural, spirals, leaves, pois, lines and concentric circles. The result is never the same each time, it usually avoids a symmetric geometric structure. Development occurs by themes dear to the young target of reference: from nature, music, love to sport and pacifism. Here, myth and rhetoric find an ironic tone that sometimes questions itself and proposes never banal visions. Of course this "Gothic Pop" can sometimes be decorative as in the textures, and sometimes expressive. These graphics certainly try to be both these things, in informal equilibrium, slightly "grunge".
