Stephane Humbert Lucas Crying of Evil

Crying of Evil is inspired by Charles Baudelaire’s Les Fleurs du Mal.

Poetic project of a lifetime, the artist expresses the paradox between evil and beauty, the eternal tug-of-war between man’s desire for the absolute and his attraction to vices.

Evolving in a world populated by sensual creatures and monsters, the dandy poet alternates between moments of intense ecstasy, pain and deep melancholy. A poetic alchemy tinged with leather, myrrh, purple tears and rare flowers, it magnifies sensibility to the extreme and delivers, drop by drop, every emotion. An ambery fragrance with a powerful trail, animalic and intriguing. A hymn to the love of beauty.
