“La Bulle”, a painting in oil and acrylic on canvas by Nicolas Monjo, asserts itself as a visual scene that is both dense and critical. This large-format piece (116 x 89 cm) unfolds a fragmented universe filled with symbols, faces, intertwined limbs, and absurd elements that together create a chaotic yet deeply evocative narrative.
Within this visual bubble, dozens of figures overlap, intersect, and entangle. The upper half of the canvas is dominated by a mass of tightly packed bodies whose gazes, expressions, and gestures convey a range of contradictory emotions: anxiety, surprise, exasperation, fear, hope. Here, Monjo does not tell a linear story, but rather captures the essence of a world overloaded with images, noise, and human contradictions.
Visual references abound: a fake gun with a “BANG” flag, a superhero mask, a guitar, a crown, a stuffed green rabbit, a skull in sunglasses, a sleeping baby, a white dog with wild eyes… And at the center, balancing this chaos, a red-haired woman blows bubble gum and holds a fishing rod with a yellow duck at the end. The childlike and the disturbing coexist in the same breath.
This painting reads like an allegory of the contemporary human condition, trapped in a bubble of endless entertainment, fragmented emotions, and constant stimulation. The title “La Bulle” (“The Bubble”) evokes both a mental refuge and a form of comfortable, dangerous isolation, where we look away from the essential while playing with reassuring fictions.
Monjo’s color palette blends warm and cool tones—vivid reds, deep blues, textured whites, and bold blacks. The deliberately grainy textures evoke the feel of skin, wall, or paper. His brushwork is almost sculptural in its precision, yet bursting with graphic freedom that gives the entire piece a boiling energy.
Presented by Galerie Bouillon d’art in Bordeaux, “La Bulle” is ideal for collectors seeking critical depth, narrative richness, and a unique visual language. To buy a painting by Nicolas Monjo is to bring into your space a piece of our world, filtered through a lens that is caustic, poetic, and profoundly human.
