2012-2013 Starting from a reflection on polar bear, its housing environment and its slow disappearance, this artwork is a visualization of an ecological phenomenon of our time. Maxime Ansiau tries to establish a logic, a link between the subject and its support: the animal represented by a subtle and little deep, monochrome and almost invisible engraving, almost disappears from the surface.

2009 Pursuing his explorations on our toys production and consumption, Maxime Ansiau is interested in the tree. Source of life, inspiration, energy and wealth, its use by human has important ecological consequences. He thus chose 'dangerous' toys (lead painting), with weak educational aspect or of lower quality having an undeniable visual richness.
