Steven Guermeur plays with the images of our society, using them to show us the excesses, the deceptions and false truths. He perturbs deeply based beliefs and tries, via each of his works, to instill the doubt.

"Bonheur Obligé" presents a series of images portraying an ideal happiness but one disturbed by something: the synchronised swimmers - symbol of photo perfectness - are done up with strange eyes and thus become grotesque, the same smiles repeated over and over again turn fake, perfectly posed women admiring a bouquet of flowers – black flowers.

There is a dark humour in the work of Steven Guermeur, a humour in which the tie of a banker becomes a noose around his neck, the human skull and that of a monkey face off an eternal war, a world in which the traditional babouchka transforms itself into a trendy icon by the grace of a football.

There is joy also, shown by a game of psychedelic motifs which awakens the senses, making us smile in derision.

One loses some illusions by obtaining a critical view .
