The company OSF Flavor asked us to create 5 visuals for the decoration of their headquarters in France and the USA. This company produces artificial flavours for the industry, and it is in the gourmet register that we intervened.
The images visible only to the company’s employees are visible HERE (OSF), you will find the orange, the strawberry, the chips (a big market), the inevitable vanilla and the star, the chocolate.
When our friend Akïo offered us to post an image in the city of Takasaki in Japan, we did not want to use an old image. True to our commitment to relevance to orders and products, we learned to our surprise that the city of Takasaki best known for the Daruma also had a specialty, exotic to say the least in Japan: Pasta! No, not oudon, soba and other Ramen, but wheat pasta in the Italian way. There’s even a festival!
Rich in information we left with three axes: Pasta, Daruma and Typhon, another Japanese specialty.
Nature the typhoon generating a beautiful tornado carrying everything, the spaghetti seemed to us perfectly to stick with the subject. Although he imagined replacing meatballs with Daruma, something was missing from the image.
The recipe is a Japanese adaptation of Neapolitan spaghetti.
This is where the flying saucer piloted by a gluttonous Daruma comes who by sucking the spaghetti causes a tornado!
The photo was made with real pasta and the shaping of the tornado required a lot of patience (See pictures and video HERE and THERE on Instagram)

The artists exhibited during the ART PROJECT TAKASAKI
高崎アートプロジェクトのオーガナイザーでもある私たちの友人アキオさんから出展の依頼を受けた時、高崎という街にちなんだテーマを探すのに頭を悩ましました。
高崎市といえばまずダルマを思い起こしますが、驚いたことに、高崎市は実はパスタでも有名でした。群馬県が小麦の生産量高いということにも関係するのでしょうか、いずれにしてもパスタフェスティバルまで毎年開催されているとのこと。
ということで、今回の作品は３つのテーマでスタートしました。ダルマ、パスタ、そして日本の風物詩でもある台風です。台風の竜巻がパスタを巻き上げる、そこまでは良いのですが、何か面白みに欠ける。
そこで大食いだるまが空飛ぶ円盤に乗ってやって来て、パスタを吸い上げると竜巻が発生！というシーンとなりました。
写真には本物のパスタを使いましたが、この造形に仕上げるのにかなりの時間と忍耐が必要でした。
Procrastination is something that is not harmful in itself but can make you forget some ideas. And ideas in creation are the engine of the creative.
Since 2017 (May) I had forgotten this sketch at the bottom of my notebook.
Onions make you cry, so once is not custom, they are the ones who come to cry over the fate of their congeners excruciatingly cut in slices. Coming from far away, they put the shapes in it and brought mortuary wreaths.
A crying onion is really sad.
It has been a long time since a minimiam image was exhibited. It’s been done now for a few weeks at the Galerie Joseph in Paris.
Very nice place where you can admire other fabulous artists!
