Description

Architecture and painting meet in this figurative creation. The artist structures the space with precision while freeing the color.
An animal head asserts itself, rhythmic by graphic drips. Acrylic and marker intertwine to create a dynamic visual play.
The vertical lines oppose the organic shapes of the subject. Splashes of blue, red, and yellow punctuate the white surface.
The gaze is stylized, almost abstract, while geometric patterns enrich the details.
The balance rests on a marked contrast between the rigor of the black base and the spontaneity of the line.
A copper sphere crowns the whole, adding a material and precious dimension.
This piece, made in 2026, explores the boundary between representation and pure expression.
The composition ends with a long, tapered neck, extended by streaks of colored pigments.

Presentation

Walter Melocco is an architect trained at the Normandy School of Architecture in Rouen, and a lifelong painter. Coming from an old Venetian family, as a child he spent all school holidays near Venice, with his grandparents. The taste for painting was already born, alongside his grandmother who took him to admire the works of Giotto or Veronese every year. Back in France, as soon as school was over, he took his brushes, and his parents kept his paintings from the time, which left no doubt that this love of art would never leave him. A lover of Picasso, or more contemporary artists like Bacon or David Hockney, he painted for years in an abstract style, returning more recently to the figurative.
