Painting: timeless art…

One of the seven arts, painting is de facto reminiscent of the paintings exhibited in the most prestigious museums, like the Mona Lisa by Leonardo da Vinci. However, it is a timeless form of art which has remarkably managed to span the ages, from before Jesus Christ to Prehistory, Antiquity, the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. If being a painter had nothing rewarding, today its democratization has made small shadow painters into protagonist artists of society. Oil painting, acrylic, watercolor, pastel or mixed media, painting captivates in all its forms.

Acrylic, a paint that adapts

Acrylic paint and its design

Acrylic is a paint whose solvent is largely composed of water. It is made from a mixture of pigments and acrylic resin and dries by evaporation of the water it contains.

The American printers Leonard Bocour and Sam Golden invented a first version of acrylic paint and put it on sale in 1949. Subsequently, the chemist Henry Levinson created artistic acrylic paint in 1963, diluted in water. Painters such as Andy Warhol and David Hockney used it very quickly. In Mexico, it was also designed around 1950. Chemists, in collaboration with Mexican mural painters, developed it during the creation of frescoes on the facades of the University of Mexico.

Description
Set of polyptych paintings that represent figurative and deformed figures, mixing abstract shapes, placed on a Prussian blue background. These characters float in space and embody various themes such as sport: football, bodybuilding, gymnastics, a UFO pilot. At the same time, the singer embodies an artistic approach. The fingers of the characters, inspired by Yves Laloy, can evoke a lateral vision of the thumb or a destabilizing representation that can recall human anatomy. The abstract elements, made up of geometric shapes, are enriched by color gradients and textures. Made from mixed techniques, in particular with bubble wrap applied to create patterns or reliefs, these patterns play with the material. The mixture of characters and abstract shapes generates a tension, marked between imbalance and conflicting dialogue.
