Limi-TATE


Between 2001 and 2002 Thion was working at the Tate Britain as a supervisor for the temporary exhibitions. During quiet times he started drawing on any piece of paper he could find. Eventually he noticed that lots of Tate tickets were going to waste, binned, thrown away for different reasons so he started recycling those tickets by using them as a support for his day dreaming. With his unique pop imagery, this limited collection summarizes some of Thion's emotions and dreams of those two years. Love, anger, sex, desire, confusion, happiness and friendship but also dreams of running away, to be free, to party and to have a good time. Those drawings are often a picture of the night before or a plan for the nights or days ahead. You go through change of season, days and nights as they describe a fragment of a story or a feeling of Thion's life at that time.
