About the Item

Pierre-Yves Trémois’s Le singe à l’électronique (1976) merges scientific imagery with primal instinct, juxtaposing a pensive baboon beside circuit-like engravings and a serene human profile. The composition bridges organic and technological worlds, expressing Trémois’s fascination with the intersection of intellect, biology, and modern invention through etched detail and surreal symbolism. Pierre-Yves Trémois (1921–2020) was a French printmaker, painter, sculptor, and illustrator celebrated for uniting science, mythology, and the human form into a singular artistic vision. A consummate draftsman, he mastered engraving and drawing with an exacting precision that gave his work a razor-sharp clarity, yet his subjects often pushed into enigmatic and provocative realms. Trémois studied at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris, where his brilliance was quickly recognized; in 1943 he was awarded the Prix de Rome, one of France’s most prestigious honors. While his classical training grounded him in tradition, his imagination led him elsewhere. Throughout his career, he explored anatomy, eroticism, zoology, and metaphysics, blending them into compositions that were at once cerebral and sensual. His art often presented scientific imagery—microscopic organisms, skeletal structures, or animal forms—juxtaposed with mythic or surreal elements, a dialogue he described as a “fusion of rational and irrational worlds.”
