• Born in 1976 in Valenciennes, where he lives and works, Damien Bassez studied fine arts at Lille. As a self-taught artist, he dedicates his energy to painting.
• Since 2023, Art Yī becomes the exclusive art gallery of the artist.
• Damien Bassez's contemporary portrayal of Japanese geisha women in traditional kimonos is a harmonious blend of artistic innovation and cultural reverence. Through a meticulous interplay of color, form, and cultural symbolism, the artist invites viewers to explore a world where tradition meets modernity, and where the strength and grace of Japanese femininity are celebrated with every brushstroke.
• At the heart of Damien Bassez's collection are the resplendent portraits of Japanese women adorned in traditional kimonos. These iconic garments serve as a timeless gateway to the rich tapestry of Eastern heritage, a theme recurrent and omnipresent in the artist's body of work. The meticulous attention to detail in the rendering of each woman's attire is nothing short of mesmerizing, reflecting both technical prowess and a deep respect for the cultural significance embedded in every fold of fabric.
• What sets Bassez's oeuvre apart is his ability to transcend the conventional and infuse vivacious color into the serene world he creates. The artist boldly juxtaposes traditional motifs, such as Fuji mountain, cranes, and sakura flowers, against a backdrop of intense hues reminiscent of a fiery sunset. The result is a captivating paradox—serene, zen-like imagery set ablaze with vibrant, almost vivacious, colors.
• The gaze of each subject in Damien Bassez's paintings is an entry point into a world of depth and emotion. The eyes, profound and expressive, are windows to the soul, conveying a fiery confidence that resonates with the viewer. It is as if the artist has captured not only the external beauty but also the internal strength and spirit of these Japanese women. Their collective presence on canvas exudes an aura of empowerment, each figure standing as a testament to the resilience and grace embedded in the cultural fabric they represent.
• Bassez's masterful use of gold leaf adds an extra layer of symbolism to his work. The delicate application of this precious material serves as a metaphor for the inherent value and timeless beauty found in both the subjects and the cultural traditions they embody.
• Damien Bassez's latest collection captivates the observer with a profound exploration of Japanese femininity, showcased through a striking fusion of oil, acrylic, and gold leaf on canvas. The artist, with his deft strokes and keen eye for detail, masterfully unveils the essence of traditional Japanese culture while infusing a vibrant contemporary energy into each piece.
