In between records and fiction, his pictures also have an auto-biographic part. Rooted inside the everyday life, he is mainly focused on two themes: the lost of the sacred and the parallelism between eroticism and death. Those subjects are often qualified as &#8220;temps morts&#8221; (dead times). Hairs, abandoned bodies, curtains, screens&#8230; A reduced universe, tragic and fragile.&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Do you remember the first picture (illustration) you\u2019ve ever taken (made)? What was it?<br \/>\nYes, the first picture I\u2019ve ever taken was of a friend, reading and lying on her bed. There was a lot of clothes around her, ready to be folded. It was 4 years ago I think.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Does music inspire your work?<\/strong><br \/>\nMost of the time yes, mainly the repetitive music, or just sounds usually. Currently, I find the \u2018ASMR\u2019 trend fascinating. Check it out on YouTube, it\u2019s people who are only whispering, playing with sounds to make you feel relaxed and safe, almost like a cerebral climax. This sound trend is very revealing of the era.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/videoseries?list=PLB_CXOyhpgjldq1U9KsWJQKyhbdXikdE0\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>If your art was a song, what would it be? Why?<\/strong><br \/>\nI don\u2019t know. Something contemplative and a little bit dark. Maybe a track from Aphex Twin, like \u2018Blue Calx\u2019<\/p>\n<p><strong>If you could shoot\/draw one artist for its album cover, who would it be? Why?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe album cover of Philip Glass or Gregorio Allegri. Illustrating \u2018La Misere\u2019 would have been such a powerful experience. In fact, all the questions dealing with holy matters fascinate me.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-56265\" src=\"https:\/\/validation.maisonkitsune.bird.eu\/mk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Juice-Nicolas-Gavino-05-1024x576.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Is there a song on Kitsun\u00e9 Hot Stream you think would have been great for you to depict?<\/strong><br \/>\nThe atmosphere of \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=GMK0jEPJjzE\">KIKI \u2013 Tentacles (feat. Jadele)<\/a>\u2019 speaks to me. It reminds me a fun time when we were listening to Minimal in underground basements.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Now that you have linked your pictures (illustrations) with music, what other art would you like to explore?<\/strong><br \/>\nVideo. I made my first movie \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/210687771\">Phone Memory<\/a>\u2019, with my phone texts. I think I\u2019m going to pursue this path for now. With some of my friends we theorized the concept of \u201cTouch death\u201d. We think that physical contact is slowly fading away before ultimately disappearing. I believe that it\u2019s a very important matter to represent.<\/p>\n<p>Follow him on <a href=\"https:\/\/facebook.com\/nicolasgavinorules\/\">Facebook <\/a>&amp; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/nicolasgavino\/\">Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;Trained at graphic design and drawing, Nicolas starts a first-person piece of art in black and white and it&#8217;s been three years now.
