Le combat du chevalier et du dragon est un des thèmes les plus répandus dans l'imaginaire universel. Si les significations de ce conte sont multiples, j'y privilégie une métaphore du combat de la civilisation contre la barbarie, toujours très actuel. On retrouve ici le St Georges et le dragon de Vittore Carpaccio, et des édifices empruntés à Giorgio de Chirico pour exprimer la stabilité figurative. L'environnement abstrait inspiré d'une peinture de Giuseppe Ajmone, est en train de se transformer en vrai paysage, entérinant la victoire du chevalier civilisateur.

Gilles Chambon is a contemporary French painter. After creating fantastic cities in watercolor, he moved on to oil painting, reinterpreting classical painters' topics in an eccentric manner. Since 2014, he has begun practicing synchronistic painting, which consists of a telescoping, in each painting, of fragments borrowed from the history of painting and reinterpreted. 

The painted image still has a magical effect on Chambon. His creative method centers on the investigation of the connections between ancient and contemporary works, producing new poetry that he refers to as synchronistic painting. Chambon exhibited his works nationally, as well as internationally in China, Japan, Belgium and Spain. In 2018, he obtained the bronze medal at the 228th Salon des Artistes Français for one of his paintings.
