Arnaud Rochard’s work is the result of a process close to the craftsmanship of art, which he develops in a universe inspired by both wild, cruel, and dark imagery as well as the fantastic parade of mythological romanticism. But these figurative codes, if present as clues, never overwhelm the perception of the whole, that of a landscape composed of lush and scattered vegetation. The object of his research is then revealed: Nature and the allegory of Freedom. (Maëlle Delaplanche)
