Artwork location: France
This work is made of oil, cement and varnish on linen canvas. "I like the illuminated material, and even if they are fast movements I like that one perceives there a powerful trail, something not asleep, perspectives, no lights, things which fade, erased by time, so quickly that there is dynamism… ”. It is Thierry Chavenon who speaks of his paintings, in a low voice, with gentleness but seriousness. We enter his world with concern as Hitchcock's camera enters a house or that of Fritz Lang in a city: a house or a city with its reliefs, its intrigues, its thicknesses, its architectural force ... bumping into each other, looking for a light that you always end up finding. Each of his paintings seems to be the framework of an intrigue, of a mystery to be discovered, of a suspense which would end in a kind of existential anonymity which still opens the door to other shadows of time. The cinema is not far away. - Jean-Pierre Hassoun, CNRS Research Director

Presentation
Thierry Chavenon was born in 1966, he is a painter and cinema head decorator. Creation has always been his family background: his father is a draftsman in an architectural firm while his grand mother worked in the sector of opera decors. In fact, the latter registered Thierry Chavenon at the Modern Art School (ESAM). Once Chavenon graduated, he became a decorator. He began his career by being Luc Besson's intern for the movie Nikita. He then worked for prestigious film projects as head decorators for movies like « De l’autre cote du periph » by David Charhon and « En solitaire » by Christophe Offenstein.
He never gave up on cinema but began painting, as his passion to create was uncontrollable. He created works which are a true witness to artistic family values, but his profession as head decorator also influenced these works. Like in cinema, Thierry Chavenon uses light, volumes but mostly movement. "I like lit material, and despite the quick movements, I want us to perceive a strong trail, something which is dynamic, perspectives, lit spots, fading lights, erased through time, so fast that it becomes dynamic...." explains the artist. This universe is portrayed in black and white, its gestures reveals action painting, where subtlety is combined with suggestion to trigger expectation along with mystery.
