The work of the French artist Mehdi Beneitez used to be released in silkcreen printing, at a very small scale.
For the first time, his pictures will be more widely available. In this serie, he shows the extreme complexity of nature. Mineral, vegetal and animal forms live together, mix themselves, sometimes eat one another. This cruel theatre is shown with delicate colors, like ancient scientific watercolor pictures.
The title is a play on the name of the butchers’ quarter in Bordeaux, which used to be called the meat complex.
