Description: 

Mon Manège à Moi is a work of precise, dreamlike draftsmanship from Maye — a risograph print rendered entirely in shades of blue that transforms the classic fairground carousel into something altogether stranger and more charged. In place of painted horses, two figures ride dirt bikes suspended from the carousel's poles, orbiting endlessly beneath an ornate canopy rendered with the meticulous detail of a technical illustration. One rider slouches with the ease of someone entirely at home in the loop; the other reaches upward, arm extended, as if grasping for a ring that perpetually escapes.

The monochromatic blue palette — recalling Delft faience, technical blueprints, and the ink drawings of the old masters simultaneously — gives the image a quality of both nostalgia and precision, the familiar fairground structure estranged by the substitution of motorcycles for horses and elevated by the extraordinary density of the linework.

The title — a reference to the classic French chanson Mon Manège à Moi — layers the image with a romantic and melancholic resonance that transforms the visual joke into something more genuinely felt. This is Maye at his most technically refined and thematically layered.

That same graphic precision applied to urban escape defines Métro, Boulot, Dépôt, a risograph print in which a masked figure rockets upward from an obsessively detailed cityscape. A more sculptural, playful register of Maye's practice appears in Vendeur à la Sauvette, a hand-painted resin figure celebrating the informal economy of Parisian street vendors — both available now at Lynart Gallery.
