Following François Bonjour's artistic development of his eye-catching creations, one does perceive, especially during the past years that his work is steeped from a musical aura. Not only because some of his compositions are apparently assembled into a score, following a sequence of different atmospheres and shades, even more, would I say - and in such a striking manner that it will become a stylish peculiarity - because of it's own rhythms.

Would we comprehend Bonjour's artistic career, we would notice the flexibility of the forms, the rhythms and the freedom of the symbols as they always belonged to the formal elements, to which the artist aspires to, with a remarkable acceleration since 2004, as the signs transformed into actual and real scripture and thereby haemorrhage into this organic overtone. Since this moment - a true point of inflection - emanates the importance of Bonjour's artwork. The dynamic sampling of the lines and the directness of the symbols become a brand mark of his rhythmic conception to his imaginative work and thus following his own manner to design and resolve the linens.
