Mathias + follow
Mathias draws his inspiration from the city, everyday life, no matter where he is, it is the universal common subjects that interest him, those that we no longer see because we see them too much. He has kept from his studies at the Beaux-Arts in Brest in the early 2000s the side of being a jack-of-all-trades, refusing to limit himself to the same medium or technique, he mixes photo, painting, volume, and recovery. Sensitive to artistic currents developing a purified, structured, and decorative aesthetic, Mathias seeks to combine realism and abstraction. He geolocates his creations to increase his exchange with the viewer, assuming that the person who looks at the work may also have passed by the real subject without seeing it.
The beauty and originality of Mathias' work, which combines bas-relief polystyrene sculpture, photography and painting, has been rewarded on many occasions with prizes and artistic distinctions and several invitations for artist residencies (Wrac'h Island Lighthouse).
About Mathias
The poetics of the forgotten things. Delving into the trivial and immobile everyday life, into what we have built, used and forgotten, looking for what we no longer see because we no longer look.... To look at the very essence of our urban life through these neglected things who are often judged to be outside aesthetic criteria.
This is the approach that has always been important to me, finding interest everywhere and especially where the eyes don't go right away...
My work mixes painting, photography and sculpture, in order to restore, without distorting it, the expressiveness felt during these instantaneous encounters that I provoke. I also attach importance to the spatial dimension by geolocating the subjects, thus allowing the viewer to be able to find them in situ, and why not realize that he has already been there without having taken the time to look....
Mathias' passion for drawing and painting dates back to childhood, a father in photography, an uncle who introduced him to watercolor and a cousin to music. It was natural for him to move to the École supérieure d'art de Brest (ESAB), where he discovered the richness of mixed media, the power of the Black & White print and the beauty of engraving.
