Commissioned by the EIP foundation and its president Ms. Kawahara, two works of three meters each were unveiled to the public for the first time on the occasion of the prestigious “Biggest Painting in the World” ceremony at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, in presence of Mohammed Yunus, Nobel Peace Prize winner, His Excellency the Ambassador of France to Japan, several members of the Japanese parliament and other leading international personalities.

The works are now exhibited in the prestigious reception hall of the French Embassy in Tokyo.
Olympic Heartbeat
Original work Pauline Tribou – Acrylic on canvas, 200 x 300 cm
Created both in the artist's Parisian studio and in Tokyo, the work Olympic Heartbeat illustrates the passing of the torch between the Tokyo 2020 and Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
At the start of this work, there is an encounter. A meeting between the artist and Minister Seiko Hashimoto, also an Olympic athlete, and president of the organizing committee for the Tokyo Olympics in 2020. When the latter describes to the artist the obstacle course undertaken to succeed in maintaining the Games despite the health crisis, in Japan where the highest level of requirements are the norm, an image comes to the artist's mind. That of an immense heartbeat, which Ms. Hashimoto managed not to interrupt. In Olympic Heartbeat, the Olympic colors form concentric circles, and not distinct rings, symbolizing the effort of convergence that was necessary, at a time when almost all sporting and cultural gatherings were canceled.
And to succeed in this challenge, it is each individual, through their action at their level, and under the leadership of the Minister, who made it possible to maintain the Games. Each of the actions is symbolized by a white shape with an organic appearance, and, all together, together, they allow the Olympic rings to be reconstituted again.
The work Olympic Heartbeat was inaugurated at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo on July 10 and is now exhibited in Tokyo, in the prestigious French Embassy in Japan.
At the Edge
Collage, acrylic and metal on canvas, 200 x 300 cm
Original work Pauline Tribou, inaugurated at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo
The work At the Edge was started in Paris in the artist's studio, and finished in Tokyo, as an illustration of the link between France and Japan. This work is the result of several meetings between the artist and Japanese associations dealing with children with non-standard development. Their paints were used by the artist as raw material. 247 pieces were thus adjusted and assembled to give life to an immense forest. You can see the children's signatures on the work.
The unexpected color associations chosen by these non-standard children reflect the richness of their creativity, free from fear of the gaze of others, or the desire to please teachers or parents, fundamental aspects of art.
Looking at this work is feeling the unrestrained joy that these children experienced while creating their paintings. In the final composition, the artist chose to represent a forest where paradoxically the trees are deliberately absent. Only the gaps between the trees are represented, making them appear hollow. It is an allegory of our view of these children that we hide or ignore, even though they are part of the diversity and richness of the world.
I wanted to talk about these extraordinary children in other ways than what they lack; but rather by what they do better than “standard” people.
For example their creativity, their lack of fear of the gaze of others, the capacity to experience joy or wonder without restraint. Beyond the happiness they experienced while painting, the work clearly demonstrates these abilities.
This is why the signature of each child appears on the work, a work revealed for the first time at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo on the occasion of the prestigious launch ceremony of the project “The largest painting in the world – Paris 2024 » organized by the Earth Identity Project foundation. »
