From the series of Seigles, which he has just made, GRATALOUP will take up the theme by integrating a scale in the whole, adding a strong symbolic dimension.

The theme of the Scale is one of the symbols that helped to qualify the painter as New Symbolist during an exhibition in Germany in 2005/2006.

The artist will often take up this theme during different periods of his life.

"The scales in front of the ryes indicate the possibility of climbing, but also the possibility of waiting, and of the one who decides to climb."
