Ses expérimentations sont pluridisciplinaires et en prises avec la matière. L’emploi de matériaux pauvres ou sobres ne nécessite pas une technologie qui le dépasserait et le rendrait obsolète, mais incite au contraire au dépouillement, à rouvrir le champ des possibles.

Ces matériaux ont en commun le fait d’avoir une sémantique bien plus large que celle des moules dans lesquels on veut les figer au court du temps et dans des espaces différents.
Exhumer fait partie de sa démarche, ces investigations expérimentales dégagent pour lui une esthétique devant faire l’objet d’une présentation plastique.

« Certaines pensées ne s’échappent pas au moment de les prononcer, de les formuler, de les figurer sur un toile. Mais la majeure partie d’entre elles restent abstraites, fluides. Ces pensées là sont des matières insoumises à la figuration, il est impossible de les contenir dans le moule des mots. Elles veulent nous dire qu’ici, les mots sont pour ceux qui n’ont rien à dire."

Thomas Loyatho

France  • 1984

Thomas Loyatho is a French artist born in 1984 in New Aquitaine, he lives in Hasparren and works in La-Bastide-Clairence.

Artistic approach

Thomas Loyatho was born in 1984. His sister, his brother (also a painter) and he grew up in their father's studio (also a painter) like in a playroom! He holds degrees in spatial planning and environmental protection. In addition to being a visual artist, he is a mountain guide.

His experiments are multidisciplinary and in touch with the material. The use of poor or sober materials does not require a technology that would surpass it and make it obsolete, but on the contrary encourages stripping, to reopen the field of possibilities. These materials have in common the fact of having a much broader semantics than that of the molds in which we want to freeze them over time and in different spaces.

Exhuming is part of his approach, these experimental investigations reveal for him an aesthetic that must be the subject of a plastic presentation.

“Certain thoughts do not escape at the moment of pronouncing them, of formulating them, of figuring them on a canvas. But most of them remain abstract, fluid. These thoughts are materials that are not subject to figuration, it is impossible to contain them in the mold of words. They want to tell us that here, words are for those who have nothing to say."
