Despite the lack of details, these characters, created by Jean-Louis Toutain, communicate a certain joie de vivre, a joyfulness between humour, satire and tenderness. The characters created by the artist oscillate between massive bodies, imposing roundness and elegance, pure and airy forms. There is a fair measure of volume and Jean-Louis Toutain has succeeded in combining lightness in the mass, as if these silhouettes were flying or floating gently.
