France's GOJIRA have issued the following update:
"You are cordially invited to attend the viewing of Mario Duplantier's artshow, Cocktail a base de goudron, at the Rock School Barbey, on December 6th, 2010.After a successful showing in Biarritz last June, the artshow will move to Bordeaux for a one night only presentation. Mario has played there many times as the drummer for the band Gojira.
Doors open at 6 PM, and entrance is free. See you there!"
Mario was born in 1981 and grew up in a family where arts has always played a significant part. He has developed his drawing, painting and music skills in an environment of freedom and creativity. In 1996, Mario and his brother created the well-known metal band named Gojira.
Traveling all around the world with Gojira he decided to transform each trip into a real painting and drawing session. The artistic raw material that came out of these trips became very crucial to him, that's why it has turned into a daily activity. Unconsciously, Mario creates random surrealistic paintings made of hybrid characters, strange animals that tell stories that are sometimes surreal but can also be scary and heart shaking. Glycerol, Chinese ink, spits, garbage and old paintings are his favoritetools to freely express his apparently naive allegories of the contemporary World.
