"Whenever I enter the CPS workshop, I am taken back to my childhood. By the smells, the presses, the colours, the textures. But above all, by meeting Mr. Marçal again, a kind of sorcerer from Alice's wonderland who brings us 'all the dreams in the world'.
Through his hands, with his skill, sensitivity and care, thousands upon thousands of prints have passed, so many that, I imagine, he himself no longer remembers them all — his own and those of others — always with the same respect. To him, our immense gratitude for fulfilling and helping to fulfil this mission of making art more accessible through the production of multiples. Prints, screen prints, photographs that engage in dialogue with us, that make us think about the Other, that unsettle and question us while at the same time offering us beauty and nourishing our humanity. I have been saying this for many years, and with ever greater conviction and commitment: art is a public good, and CPS is a partner in this mission."
