Conceptualiser sur Patti Smith est complexe, en raison de son éclectisme et de ses innombrables sujets d'intérêts ou d'inspiration. Bien évidemment, il faut la référence à Arthur Rimbaud ; il y a aussi son ami photographe Robert Mapplethorpe et son fidèle guitariste, Lenny Kaye. Et on peut la voir rire en compagnie de Bob Dylan. Elle appréciait également la peintre américaine Joan Mitchell, dont des fragments de tableaux sont représentés sur les côtés supérieur et gauche.
Au milieu apparaît, un peu diaphane, la stature du Chelsea Hotel de Manhattan, où Patti vécut un certain temps dans les années 1970.
La lecture des paroles de ses chansons a été nécessaire, après avoir déjà ingurgité la remarquable biographie de ses jeunes années écrite par ses soins ("Just kids").
Désormais femme âgée, sachez que je la surnomme volontiers la "grand-mère vénérable".

- For those who wish to discover oil painting, I open a workshop during the lunch break, once a week, on the sidelines of school lessons.
When a drawing teacher makes such a proposal and you are already motivated by the artistic thing, there is no hesitation. Christian responded to the opportunity and discovered the smoothness and reactivity of the material, its sensuality too: pleasure. This happened in 1974, at the age of fourteen. And quickly, gouache, pencil or pastels were practically forgotten.
A few years later, a solid technique had already asserted itself, through, most often, work inspired by photographic favorites. Christian will notably have the freedom to produce color paintings, from black and white photos.
His works still lacked a certain essence, that of conceptual elaboration, which will appear in the 1980s and will continue thereafter. This indefinable work, probably invisible, which allows an idea to mature for six months to progress, improve, or even vanish. Christian has an expression for this: 'cinema on canvas', because like the seventh art, he creates a real scenario of his work before using his brushes. There is no doubt that many of these ideas come from her passion for travel, such a passion that she stopped her production for a while. Prize-winning exhibitions have awarded Christian six times.
Christian is a multiple artist, in the sense that he is master of the freedom of his ideas; thus his subjects are diversity. If he is comfortable with his time, he does not lock himself in his fashions. And to extend the notion of multiplicity, he is also a photographer and writer-traveler. Open to the surprise of the future, he will gladly tell you that he is not yet... a sculptor.
