At the crossroads between random signs and geometric compositions, Pays sages assembles a corpus of Bert Theis’ drawings and collages. Theis produced these sketches in Italy between 1990 and 1992, while studying at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma.

Like a travel journal made up of delicate signs, this ensemble of fourteen collages and five drawings on paper render the artist’s poetic and emotional response to his natural surroundings.
