Commencés en 1974, les collages très personnels de Télémaque sont faits de papiers de couleur et de rebuts d’atelier. Deux séries majeures, les Selles et les Maisons rurales, qui l’occupent particulièrement dans les années 1980, sont associées régulièrement à leurs dessins préparatoires. Comme d’autres artistes de la Figuration narrative, il utilise l’épiscope pour projeter des images sur la toile et en tracer les contours.
Son style en aplat et aux couleurs vives est caractéristique de son travail. L’intégration de collages et d’éléments quasi abstraits qui perturbent la vision et la lecture du tableau, rappelle les associations d’idées et collages des artistes Surréalistes avec lesquels l’artiste a été lié au début des années 1960.

Begun in 1974, Télémaque’s highly personal collages are made of coloured paper and studio scraps. Two major series, the Saddles and the Rural Houses, which occupied him particularly in the 1980s, are regularly associated with their preparatory drawings. Like other artists of the Figuration Narrative, he uses the episcope to project images onto the canvas and trace their outlines.
His flat, brightly coloured style is characteristic of his work. The integration of collages and quasi-abstract elements, which disrupt the vision and reading of the painting, recalls the associations of ideas and collages of the Surrealist artists with whom the artist was associated in the early 1960s.

Iniziati nel 1974, i collage molto personali di Télémaque sono fatti di carta colorata e ritagli di studio. Due grandi serie, le Saddles e le Case rurali, che lo hanno occupato particolarmente negli anni 80, sono regolarmente associate ai loro disegni preparatori. Come altri artisti della Figurazione Narrativa, usa l’episcopio per proiettare immagini sulla tela e tracciare i loro contorni.
Il suo stile piatto e dai colori vivaci è caratteristico del suo lavoro. L’integrazione di collage ed elementi quasi astratti, che disturbano la visione e la lettura del quadro, ricorda le associazioni di idee e i collage degli artisti surrealisti a cui l’artista era associato nei primi anni ’60.
