On the United Nations summit dedicated to oceans the International Museum of Naïve Art Anatole Jakovsky asks itself about the links between Naïve Art and Contemporary Art. What is the influence, the part playing by autodidacts art making on contemporary creation. The artists and engraver Pascal Héranval tries to give an answer building pictures uncluding stories dealing with the complexity of the world. By love of music he moves to Brazil and by love of Naïve Art he will stay fourteen years in Bahia. The past of Bahia where many African - Brazilians live in finds his roots inside their stories, their culture and also their religion like the goddess of the seas Yemanja. Héranval uses the time he stays in Bahia for improving his art with clear colors, twisting old maps and round strokes because he doesn't like broken strokes. Peoples who follows the exhibition can wounder Héranval's precise stroke coming from his engraving experience and the attention he gives to each points inside the paintings. The exhibition ends with a living art a kind of liquid maze tributing the "Baie des Anges". Staying in front of a table Héranval constructs with the support of the audience a drawing who will go until windows showing us the sea.
