Recapitation
Recapitation est une collection de dessins dont la richesse, la diversité et l'inventivité ne sont pas sans évoquer le talent d'un Topor ou d’un Steinberg. Désespéré, obsessionnel, obscène, déstabilisant, fascinant : ce petit livre est tout ça. Killoffer se frotte au dessin pur, ni illustratif, ni narratif, et montre qu’il y excelle, comme ailleurs.

Superbes dessins en graphite. Le dessin impressionne par la limpidité et maîtrise du trait. Formes ovales, parfois humanisées réminiscentes à mes yeux du sculpteur Henry Moore. Quelques portraits et auto-portraits, avec dérision et sans auto-censure.
