Catalogue Note
" Aillaud peint presque exclusivement des animaux. Des animaux enfermés dans des cages, des enclos et des verrières ou derrière les grilles des zoos. Des animaux aliénés, déplacés, déportés, parqués, à qui on offre pourtant toutes les apparences de la liberté et de la sécurité. Voir les apparences de la nature d'où ils ont été retirés. "
