Alphabetical Little Theatre

The combination of painting and graphics is Paul Cox’s signature style and in this case the French artist remains true to form: in a mix of design, games and scenic art, Cox creates a mini theatre with 42 cut-out objects and characters, ready to take the stage and perform a different story each time. But that’s not all: this little theatre is also alphabetic: each character represents its initial letter, multiplying expressive possibilities in a game of references between drawings and letters and between meaning and significance.
