Tutus Mobio’s Studio

Born in 1973 in Adjam, Côte.d'ivoire, and arrived to France at the six years age, Tutus Mobio, since, is always attracted by painting and the sculpture. When it reaches the eighteen years age, his/her adoptive parents discover and encourage his talent. In connection with Palimpsest, work of collaboration with Élie Andre: Work of creation and re-creation, passage and sharpening, separation and fusion, all is based in the energy of the superpositions and the multiple glances of a kaleidoscope where it becomes difficult to distinguish which did what. The palimpsest (of the old Greek palimpsestos, scraped again) indicates a manuscript written on a parchment beforehand used, and from which one made disappear the inscriptions to write there again. This method was used with the Middle Ages especially between VIIe century and XIIe century, by copyists who, the being expensive parchment, re-used old manuscripts to copy new texts there. For that, the old manuscripts were désencrés beforehand or erased thanks to stone sandpapers.
