<La Meute>

La Meute [The Horde] belongs to a series begun by Henri Cueco, a painter associated with the Narrative Figuration movement, shortly after the French student revolt of May 1968. A pack of dogs precedes a figure who adopts either a pleading or threatening posture within the cold, geometric environment of a megapolis. The low-angle viewpoint and use of perspective contribute to the narrative, amplifying the tension that emanates from this enigmatic scene. It can be interpreted as a metaphor for social relationships, driven by instinctive, destructive, and violent forces.
