ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Geoffroy Pithon questions the boundary between digital and traditional painting. He is a real adventurer who likes to explore the different techniques and then mix them to form a kind of fresco painting, as if it were a large tapestry of a fashion show during the apocalypse. A painting that mixes abstraction and figuration as it unfolds and unfolds characters.

Geoffroy Pithon (1988) is a graphic designer and artist based in Nantes, France. At the intersection of art and design, the French painter tries to bring together non-traditional means of communication with graphic experiments. Through this eclectic porosity he develops his very own language that makes colors, shapes and figures dance in an energetic choir. The artist creates immersive abstract paper painting installations, which make viewer experience a fantastic, colourful world reminiscent of plant, animal and underwater aesthetics or dense jungles. Geoffroy’s paintings make us experience moments in nature: potentially connecting us with creation in an almost spiritual manner. Geoffroy Pithon has a unique strength for developing large installation works on paper. Here in a structured, yet free and impulsive manner his manual and digital paintings find themselves in a lively dialogue. In his artistic process, Geoffroy Pithon analyses and discovers qualitative excerpts of his large scale paintings, which encourage him to focus on a specific segment of his creations. These segments are cut, selected and reworked to smaller, more intense, collage works that are then recomposed out of various parts of the original painting. The works of post-impressionists like Henri Matisse or Pierre Bonnard inspire Geoffroy Pithon’s art - the intense colouring, their abstract imagery and their symbolic content are virtuously reflected in a contemporary context. Toulouse Lautrec and David Hockney are also two of his big inspirational sources, especially through the combination of different artistic techniques.
