Source text - French La toile Cette toile 100 % lin est tissée avec des fibres longues de lin qui sont plus régulières, homogènes et solides en comparaison des fibres courtes de lin de moindre qualité. Cette sélection des meilleurs brins d’origine européenne permet de profiter pleinement des qualités intrinsèques du lin : stabilité, solidité et longévité. Cette toile brute reçoit un premier encollage à la main à base de colle de peau naturelle. Ce traitement va à la fois bloquer les fibres et les isoler des couches ultérieures. Ensuite, 3 couches d’apprêt universel blanc seront successivement déposées sur la toile pour une bonne accroche des matières, et pour parfaire le rendu des couleurs. Après cette préparation manuelle, la toile atteint un grammage élevé de 435 g/m2. Elle est sans acide garantissant une excellente résistance au vieillissement. Grain fin. Toile agrafée à l’arrière du châssis. L’art en Très Grands Formats Fort de ses 29 grands formats à l’impressionnant 160 x 200 cm, Professional XL est le garant d’une expression artistique totale. Plus besoin de passer par des commandes “sur mesure” pour atteindre de tels formats. Pour lui donner harmonie et relief, la largeur du châssis a été portée à 4 cm d’épaisseur, lui conférantdavantage de présence et d’esthétisme. Un profi l surdimensionné pour une stabilité optimum L’univers des très grands formats est souvent synonyme de risque de déformation du châssis, conséquence du travail du bois (humidité, température). Professional XL bénéficie d’une caractéristique technique exclusive. Collage spécial des baguettes qui évite toute torsion du châssis. Une largeur de baguette hors norme de 7 cm qui assure une excellente stabilité dimensionnelle. C’est donc un châssis parfaitement adapté aux oeuvres finalisées et aux expositions, et qui permet de profiter en toute sérénité de l’impact artistique unique d’un très grand format. Le bois utilisé est du pin de haute qualité, issu de forêts européennes à gestion raisonnée. Les formats sont renforcés par une entretoise, une croix ou une double croix selon les formats. Châssis livré avec clés haute qualité en hêtre pour retendre la toile	Translation - English The canvas This canvas is 100% linen and is spun with long flax fibres which are more regular, even and solid than lower quality shorter linen fibres. By selecting the best threads from European linen plants you are guaranteed a product which holds the finest qualities of linen: stability, solidity and longevity. The untreated canvas is first hand primed with a natural skin based primer. This treatment not only tightens the fibres but also isolates the upper coats. After that 3 coats of universal white are successively applied to the linen so that any paint applied to the surface adheres well and the brilliance of the colours is maintained. After this preparation by hand the weight of the canvas is over 435g/m2. The canvas is acid free which guarantees resistance to ageing. This fine grained canvas is attached to the back of the frame. Large Sized Art With and impressive 39 large sizes on offer, ‘Professional XL’ guarantees total artistic expression. Now you no longer have to order ‘made-to-measure’ for large sized art. The thickness of the frame has been increased 4cm which creates harmony and depth giving your artwork all the more presence and beauty. An oversized profile means optimum stability In the world of extra-large sized frames there is often a risk of warping due to working with wood (problems of humidity, and temperature). ‘Professional XL’ uses an exclusive technique to combat this; a unique way of gluing the wood together avoids all torsion of the frame. We use pieces of wood which are 7cm wider than normal ensuring excellent dimensional stability. This makes a frame which is perfectly adapted to finished artwork and exhibiting, giving your large sized artwork a serene feel and unique artistic impact. The wood used is high quality pine from sustainable European forests. The frames are reinforced by an angled brace, a cross or double cross depending on the size. Frames are delivered with high quality wedges made of beech to stretch the linen.

Sur les pentes de Paris, on y danse sur tous les fronts Un carnaval de cavalcades qu’on avale car nos caravanes de crânes avouent qu’on est qu’des carnes au garde-à-vous Je dégringole fier dans mes groles de gringo Mes pieds ragga-dancehall autour des passants calypsos Des tranches de vies, des arcs-en-ciel de peaux défilent sous mes yeux Ici misère et confort se partagent l’enfer et les cieux	Translation - English Jump up, fall down, skin your knees, Start over Jump up, fall down, skin your knees, Start over Jump up, fall down, skin your knees, Start over The sun blasts my temples with a rhythmic beat I’ve so far to run pavement slapping feet The sun blasts my temples with a rhythmic beat Below 21 centuries contemplated in the streets Stan Smith on my feet, at the top I prepare A sprint somewhere beyond nowhere The ballet of races that never ends We rise and face each daily challenge The sun blasts my temples with a rhythmic beat Jet –propelled trainers, I’m ready, the slope takes shape From Menil I run down, slam the ground feel my heart rate Passing watching passers-by Supporters downcast will they leave and join my aimless past Leaving the disaster of the hill at last? On the slopes of Paris we dance on all fronts A carnival of cavalcades that we welcome Our caravans of craniums attest We’re just cuts of meat with puffed up chests I tear down proud in my gringo kicks My ragga-dance hall steps around calypso kids Slices of life, a rainbow of skin tones march by my eyes Misery and comfort sharing hell and the skies
